The purpose of this course is to acquaint the undergraduate student with historical perspectives on the development of anthropological ideas from their precursors in thought about human nature and behavior, and ending with discussion of current emphases in anthropological theory. Students will engage with global, North American and European anthropologies to learn about a range of foundational approaches in international cultural and historical contexts. The course will provide anthropology majors with the foundations they need to master this area of disciplinary knowledge.
