ANTH1001Introduction to Sociocultural Anthropology3 ch (3C)

Explore the meaning of culture, and how the discipline of anthropology understands the concept. Anthropologists immerse themselves in social settings, participating in everyday life to gain a deeper understanding of local beliefs and practices. In learning about this approach to understanding culture, known as ethnographic fieldwork, our aim is to gain a background in sociocultural anthropology, its broad relevance today, and to discover new perspectives on our own unique ways of living and being.
