Discover the importance of culture and language in societies
ANT102H5 Introduction to Sociocultural and Linguistic Anthropology offers an in-depth introduction to core concepts, categories, and practices of sociocultural and linguistic anthropology – the study of people as social and cultural beings, and of how people order their lives and give meaning to their experiences. The material covered will explore questions such as:
- What does it mean to be human?
- What do we share with others, and how are we different from them?
