ANTH 393 (History of
Anthropological Thought) is a seminar course designed for anthropology majors
that examines the historical development of the subfields of anthropology
(archaeology, biological anthropology, and cultural anthropology) from the 19th
century to the present. This is one of two courses that can count toward the
senior seminar requirement for anthropology majors
(the alternative is ANTH 390—Issues in Anthropology). |

This course emphasizes critical
thinking. Students read key original works and then discuss them in a seminar
format. The
members of the anthropology department
rotate teaching responsibilities for this course, although all department
faculty participate each semester as guest discussants. The section for Fall
2009 is taught by Dr. John Relethford |
Franz Boas (1858–1942), often
called the “father of American anthropologogy” |
