Social Anthropology provides us with an comprehensive understanding of human diversity. This course will introduce students to the history, methods, and theories of the discipline, paying attention to the concept of culture as an analytical tool. Examining a variety of topics such as communication and language, marriage and family systems, psychology and culture, and religion, the student will gain a perspective on the human condition, on cultural differences as well as similarities, and on global social and cultural problems.
