GLOBAL CELEBRATIONS: ANTH-A200/GLLC-G200
TR 11:15-12:30, Foster Quad 012A
Instructor: Audrey Ricke
What approaches do researchers take to study the political, economic, and social impacts of events which cross national boundaries? How do global celebrations, like Chinese New Year and Carnival, affect the ethnic, racial, and gender identities of the hosts and tourists who attend?
Drawing from anthropology, history, folklore, and tourist studies, this course will both guide students to critically analyze the potency that global celebrations have to enact or counter change and to apply this knowledge to other global phenomena.
S&H, open to all students, no prerequisites.
