B2)  Do you enjoy learning about other cultures?
Did you find the book Hungry Lightning to be a good read?
Are you interested in learning more about Margaret Mead's work?
About the Yanomamo?
Are you concerned about the impact of colonialism on indigenous communities
around the world?
    We invite you to continue your journey of knowledge and discovery by
enrolling in a newly revised Anthropology class this spring.
E200/E400/S362: Cultural Anthropology 2
    This class will build upon ideas from Introduction to Cultural Anthropology
and will examine how anthropologists do their research and what happens when the
information is not accurate or the conclusions are not valid. We will read and
discuss Margaret Mead’s work on teenage sexual behavior in Samoa and Napoleon
Chagnon’s research among the Yanomami. We will also explore why the Mayan civil
rights activist Rigobeta Menchu’s biography has been criticized.
    These readings and discussions will help to prepare you for more advanced
anthropology classes, so join us and learn more about anthropology and how it
shapes the understandings of cultures around the globe.
This class meets Tuesdays & Thursdays 10:00-11:15. Instructor: Dr Michelle
Stokely. E200 & E400 numbers carry Group IIIB credit.
