ANTH 310 - Conflict, Culture and Identity

This course provides an in-depth examination of the range of variation in cross-cultural behaviors and responses involved in disputes and their resolution, with particular emphasis on methods and issues surrounding conflicts and conflict resolutions in a variety of non-Western societies. While the focus is primarily on small-scale societies typically studied by anthropologists and the models/cultural perspectives these groups use to resolve disputes and negotiate settlements, students will compare and analyze conflict in societies of varying size and complexity, including our own. Previously offered as ANTH 390A.
