Course Description
Anthropology is not a science of the exotic carried on by scholars in ivory towers but a discipline with a lot to tell the public. One of its contributions is its broadening, liberating role in a college education. This course will examine the development of this discipline as it now exists and look at its present day contributions to society as a whole.
