ANTH 4701.049 / ANTH 5700.019
Urban Beings
Mon.-Wed., 3:30 - 4:50 p.m. | Gateway Center, #142

Course Synopsis: Cities are enduring markers of the Anthropocene, evidencing innovation, adaptation and contestation across time and space. Students in the Urban Beings course will earn how anthropologists study the human experience in cross-cultural, urban contexts. Balancing materialist and ideological explanations with holistic, comparative approaches, ethnographic case studies describe stunning diversity and surprising similarity among urban dwellings and dwellers. In their own short-term study, students will employ inventive qualitative field-methods well-suited to research in urban environments.
