ANTHROPOLOGY: PEOPLE, RESOURCES AND THE WORLD This anthropology class explores the issue of resource distribution, acquisition and use across the world from historical to contemporary perspectives. Specifically, the class looks at all the variables that impact, create and/or shape inequality in the world. There will be an overview of the field of anthropology and the concept of “the economy.” To better understand how people have created wealth and power over time various theoretical and empirical works will be utilized. Capitalism, colonialism, slavery, genocide, decolonization, environmentalism, and creative entrepreneurship will be studied, including how people make a living. The tension between different perspectives on the economy and what/who influences/shapes/controls it will be explored. Finally, how people reduce, reuse, and recycle materials in their personal and professional lives will be studied. null
