Introduction to Cultural Anthropology – Fall 2015 – Portfolio
This course is an introduction to the field of anthropology. It explores culture as a way of viewing and understanding the world through issues of race, gender, religion, and more as explored in theory and ethnographies.
We began by talking about how different cultures view place, as explored in Keith Basso’s Wisdom Sits In Places. I compare this to the notion of place in environmental studies. We did our own ethnographic work in relation to place, which I wrote about in Bon Winners 2015.
