Research Methods in Biosocial Anthropology

Graduate / Professional

This graduate seminar focuses on research methods aimed at capturing the human experience as a whole. That is, we look at humans as biosocial beings, both responding to and affecting the environment in which they grow and develop. We go over quantitative and qualitative approaches to best capture the nuance in human biology and behavior. We take a cross-cultural approach when reading both seminal and current works in anthropology. Emphasis is placed on human health across the life course. Prerequisite: At least one introductory course in sociocultural or biological anthropology. Th 9:25am-11:20am
