ANTH 3338 - Environmental Anthropology (3 Credit Hours)

Lecture Contact Hours: 3
Environmental/ecological anthropology is a long-standing subsection of the field, and incorporates numerous theoretical stances across the four subfields (archaeological, biological, cultural, linguistic). Focusing primarily on cultural and biocultural stances, this class explores several key questions: What are human relationships with their environments, and what are the foundations of these relationships? How have anthropologists examined, understood, and explained nature/human interactions in the discipline? How does the environment influence culture and cultural adaptations, and in turn, how do people shape the environment around them?
