Posthumanist Anthropology

3 credits

Anthropology has always been concerned with the “more than human.” The concept of holism is inseparable from a multitude of actors; be they human, yak, herbal plant, or intangible ancestor. Connecting with past ethnographic insights, this course examines current anthropological research on aspects of the microbiome, the Anthropocene, and nanotechnology. ***Prerequisite: ANTH 100 or completion of 12 credit hours or permission of the Department Head.***
