Anthropology is a comparative science that examines all societies, ancient and modern, simple and complex. Anthropological Inquiry introduces students to anthropology’s four main subdisciplines (sociocultural, archaeological, biological, and linguistic anthropology) as well as a fifth, more recent addition, applied anthropology. It presents anthropology as a social science mode of inquiry, introducing anthropology’s major investigative methods and approaches, important anthropological concepts and principles, and anthropology’s ongoing self-critique and professional development. With its ethnographic breadth and concern with cultural processes over time and within and between human societies, this course also teaches cross-cultural and intercultural perspectives that go beyond simple observation of cultural difference to more complex understandings of cultural diversity and interaction among the world’s peoples.

SOAN 220 - World Prehistory
The subject matter of World Prehistory is the archaeological record produced by behaviorally modern humans (Homo sapiens) over the last ~150,000 years and their hominin ancestors in the previous 4-6 million years. This course is a survey of what we think we know about the large scale pattern of biological evolution of our capacity for complex social and cultural behaviors among our hominin ancestors and subsequent patterns of sociocultural change among humans, particularly those related to the transition from hunting-gathering-fishing to food producing and eventually state formation. Interactions between humans and their environment and the role of population density in adaptation are central themes.

SOAN 360 - Sociological Theory
This course encourages students to sharpen their skills at asking questions and proposing explanations of social issues through a study of how their predecessors in sociology critically examined society. By reading and analyzing the work of classical and more contemporary theorists, we can learn about what it means to study the social world through theoretical questions. And by observing how contemporary theorists have improved on the ideas and explanations of the classical theorists and applied them to contemporary problems, we can equip ourselves to modify and apply existing theoretical ideas to answer questions and effect positive change in our social world. The link between theory and research design is emphasized. Sociology/Anthropology majors should plan to take this course after completing at least two 200-level survey courses in the major and in the same semester as Research Design. Sociology minors are encouraged to take this course.
