Sociology & Anthropology
218 Anthropology of Islands
| Course Description | |
|---|---|
| Focuses on the diversity of island peoples and cultures and the unique place they hold within the field of anthropology. Explores the range of environmental contexts in which island peoples adapt, as well as the unique socioeconomic systems and historical experiences that characterize them. Examines the powerful sense of cultural identity that islanders share, and the many challenges and opportunities they face in an age of globalization and limited resources. Selected case studies draw from islands in the Pacific and North Atlantic, including Maine, to bring a comparative and interdisciplinary understanding of island societies past and present.
