ANTH 20402 - Ritual In Human Life

This course explores the nature of ritual and the role it plays in human culture. By exploring central topics in anthropology (religion, worldview, gender, economics, and embodiment), the course illustrates how human behavior is understood in cultural contexts and reveals humanity’s diversity and commonality. Ritual in Human Life is designed for the non-anthropology major yet emphasizes the development of skills used in the anthropological study of human behavior and belief.
