AnthroBites with Anthropologist Jan Downy
The course is named “AnthroBites” because it is a series of “small plate” servings of some of the most essential and interesting concepts in Anthropology courses. The topics are accessible, emphasizing the cross-cultural nature of each. Discussion is encouraged. There are no tests or expectations other than coming to the sessions with an open mind, willing to learn more about our own culture, as we learn from others.
