Introduction to Cultural Anthropology

Cultural anthropology draws on the humanities, social sciences, and naturalsciences to explore human variation in peoples’ practices, values, identities, andinstitutions, and the nature of human conflict. ANT 1001 challenges students tocritically examine: what is “cultural,” what is “natural?” How do race, class, gender,sexuality, science and technology, politics and the economy, and globalization shape the contemporary world? Regardless of the focus—arts and sciences, business, or policymaking—anthropology equips Baruch students to engage a multi-cultural and interconnected world.
