The Celtic Worlds

Catalog description

This course explores the history and culture of the Celts, from the origins of this population to the different forms of Celtic expression today. Spanning over several thousand years, it investigates how the linguistic, socioeconomic, and cultural worlds of Celtic populations became established in Central and Western Europe, how these populations interacted with surrounding cultural groups, and how they changed over time. This journey provides a unique opportunity to examine a range of anthropological methods of investigation (archaeology, forensic anthropology, ethnography, etc.) and critically engage with major topics and concepts in anthropology, including culture and cultural change, identity, and forms of cultural expression. Cross-listed with ANTH 333 .
