ANTH360: Asian Cultures

This unit offers a detailed ethnographic study of cultural systems in Asia. Each year we choose one specific society or cultural grouping and closely examine cultural practices and knowledge systems that shape aspects of everyday life. The unit involves students in considering a wide range of historical and contemporary ethnographic materials and anthropological texts. It offers a chance to build up a detailed engagement with the culture of regions that are particularly important in the contemporary global landscape, such as the region of India, which is taught every other year.
