CULTURES OF THE WORLD: MEDITERRANEAN 4

Catalog description

This course is part of a series to explore the diverse cultural heritage of the world using an anthropological perspective. In this case students cover the Mediterranean starting with the archaeological and historical past. Using anthropological methodology students explore the diversity within each culture, and then analyze the relationships within a worldwide context. As well, students are expected to synthesize the dynamics of power relationships within the culture in ancient and modern contexts by evaluating politics, economics, religion, and social development in the culture area. The course is designed to work with students either on an international program or intending to participate in a program of study in the Mediterranean.
