Language, Culture, and Power

1.00 credits · Undergraduate

This course introduces topics relevant to linguistic anthropology with a focus on the interplay between language, culture, and power. Students are introduced to various fields of linguistic analysis, including phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics as they intersect with areas of sociocultural value and meaning-making including race, gender, class, and nation. Developing core skills and theories will enable you to apply your knowledge through in-class discussions and a final original research project.
