ANTH 301 - Seminar in Anthropological Theory

This course is designed to create a space in which student-scholars may collaborate to deepen their understanding of the importance of contemporary theory in Anthropology and further develop their own theoretical approaches. Students will explore what distinguishes current paradigms from historical approaches and become familiar with important paradigms that shape the way that Anthropologists understand and interpret the cultural worlds that they study today. This course will not provide a chronological overview of the past one hundred and fifty years of Anthropological Theory, but will instead focus on contemporary theorizing of applied, public, activist, native, decolonial, and abolitionist anthropologists.
