Living Anthropologically

Anthropology – Understanding – Possibility

Home » Anthropology Courses » Page 2

Anthropology Courses

These blog-posts concern anthropology courses and the teaching of anthropology. Living Anthropologically began as an attempt to take classroom knowledge and apply it to a more public forum. This attempt especially applies to Introduction-to-Anthropology. My current favorite textbook is the 5th edition of Anthropology: What Does it Mean to be Human? To follow along with this course, see Intro to Anthro 2021.

For fall 2021, I am scheduled to teach a first-year seminar titled Upstate Latinx. For that course I am using Latina/o Studies by Ronald Mize. I will also be teaching Cultural Anthropology. I am excited to try out the second edition of Introducing Anthropology: What makes us human?

The page dedicated to Anthropology Textbooks and Courses is particularly important, as that is the place where the anthropology courses are cataloged.
