ANT 212 The Anthropology of Food
Food is the most direct and meaningful connection people have with the environment, a connection that addresses both biological and cultural needs. This course aims at exposing students to the different ways in which anthropologists think about food across its sub-disciplines as a way to understand human origins, behavior, and cultural diversity. Themes include food procurement strategies, influence on human evolution, religious traditions and food, food as pertains to power dynamics, warfare, gender relations and identity, and the role of food in environmental and sustainable development policy-making.

ANT 247 Animals across Cultures
How do diverse cultures conceptualize and treat non-human animals? How are animals understood and acted upon? Our readings are drawn from anthropology, anthrozoology, the biological sciences, neuroscience, comparative psychology, sociology, history, and science journalism. Cross-cultural and transhistorical comparisons invite us to re-conceptualize how we relate to animals under conditions of human exceptionalism, while providing a deeper sense of agency and urgency in how we reimagine stewardship of our shared and imperiled planet.
