Anthropology
ANT 108 - The Science, Arts, And Crafts Of People
Description: This course focuses on relationships between people and their so-called objects of science (machines or tools), arts, and crafts, all of which fall under the broad umbrella of technology. This is not a conventional anthropology course; it is instead a cross-disciplinary course that aims to explore the fluid boundaries that exist among the social conceptions of the sciences, arts, and crafts. We will adopt a classic comparative approach for the exploration of the creativity behind technological practices, media, and materials, to gain insights into issues of broad interest in anthropology and other social disciplines. Letter grade only.
