ANTH 365 - Political Anthropology

This course will analyze the contemporary cultural aspects of politics and power as well as the political issues surrounding culture. We will focus on both localized issues around the globe, as well as how these issues play out in an ever globalizing context. Some of the topics this course will cover include political unrest, social movements and political change, the growing role of social media, and the effects of the interplay of politics and culture on violence, economy, migration, environment, and health.
