Ringkasan program

This program combines the study of social and cultural theory with the empirical study of everyday life, social organization, cultural and political expression, and forms of imagination across the diversity of human cultures past and present, including those of the students themselves. It particularly focuses on the challenges of moment in history, new religiosities and religious strife; globalization and competition; law and the problems of governance; new diseases and medical interventions; global social movements and transnational media forms; and further challenges offered up by turbulence and destitution. In all cases, acute awareness of shifting contexts in which institutions are embedded, and the impact of global, regional and national politics on social life is built into the methodology and the theory engaged by faculty and students. The program see teaching and research as integrally linked and invite undergraduate students to participate in research as they take introductory and advanced courses in anthropology. Undergraduate coursework offers an introduction to the basic methodologies and theories of contemporary anthropology through discussion and directed research on these and other topical issues. Majors in anthropology also have the opportunity to explore theory, method and the history of anthropology through the major’s seminar, and a core course in ethnographic theory and method. Student advising helps interested students to develop sequences of complementary courses tailored to their own interests through electives courses outside the department. In addition, majors have options to pursue concentrations and an honors program. Undergraduates in anthropology acquire a foundation for careers in medicine, international relations, and law, as well preparation for graduate work in anthropology and related disciplines in the humanities and social sciences.
