Advanced Anthropology of Violence

3 credits

This course applies anthropological theories to explore violence and other forms of conflict as social processes rather than as isolated events. It provides a critical perspective on theoretical, methodological and ethical questions using a variety of ethnographic case studies and explores how anthropologists can effectively study this culturally universal phenomenon. ***Prerequisite: Completion of 30 credit hours including at least 3 credit hours in ANTH, or permission of the Department Head.*** *Note: Students may receive credit for one of ANTH 320AM or ANTH 242AB.*
