ANTH 475

Engaged Anthropology - CUE

In this course, students will explore anthropology as a profession and discipline that engages the public and contemporary issues and examine how majors use the knowledge and skills of an anthropology degree in the professional world. The purpose of this course is to enable students to make connections across sub fields, synthesize their understanding of anthropology, and think critically about its place in our communities and the world. The course will be team-taught and will cover the three sub-fields in the department: Cultural Anthropology, Biological Anthropology, and Archaeology. Course activities will include field trips, engagement with local organizations, and guest lectures. This course will also include a practicum intended to prepare anthropology majors for a successful job search or graduate school application in which students will learn to articulate the knowledge and skills they have acquired during their undergraduate degree
