Lecture: 1 x 3 Hours Weekly
Syllabus: We explore the ways anthropologists have engaged research in cities, textually, visually, theoretically. This unit positions students to use and develop their knowledge so that they too can "do" -- rather than just "read" -- urban anthropology. In doing so, students deploy observation and interviewing methods to examine small, particular aspects of the cultures of urban life (e.g. pedestrian patterns at a busy intersection; choices about food shopping - supermarkets, farmers' markets, etc; entertainment in public places; the historical choices and positioning of public monuments; cemeteries as places of cultural meaning; the cultural use of space, within the home, in public places).
