Classes

  • ANTH 105: Intro to Biological Anthro

    An introduction to biological anthropology, i.e. the study of humans as biological organisms. The course explores relevant theories, methodologies, and contemporary issues within this subdiscipline of anthropology, via lectures, lab work, and workshops. Topics to be covered are human genetics, evolution, variation, growth and development, and behavioral ecology, as well as primate evolution and behavior.

  • ANTH 202: Nutrition, Disease and Health

    Using Critical Social Theory and a biocultural perspective, this course explores the interplay between concepts of nutrition, health, illness and disease and the cultural contexts in which they are rooted. It addresses several issues, such as: explanatory models for the causes and treatments associated with illness and disease; the relationship between nutrition, growth and development and health; effects of globalization and environment on disease and health; and the way social inequalities, religious beliefs, and political-economic contexts influence disease prevalence and access to health care services.

  • ANTH 306: Human Growth & Development

    This course explores human growth and development from genetic, physiological, anatomical, cultural, and socio-economic perspectives. The main topics include the history of growth studies, genetic and environmental effects on growth, typical human growth patterns during all life stages, and the evolution of human growth patterns.
