ANT 342G - PII Cultural Study in Kenya


(Perspectives II Global course) PERMISSION OF INSTRUCTOR ONLY. This is a 3-week study in Kenya that examines the contemporary socioeconomic and cultural experiences of the African citizenry within the context of the increased global interconnectedness that is evidenced in Africa today. Taking a broad, survey approach, this course will expose students to the daily life experiences of Kenyans in a wide variety of contexts. Students will visit with Kenyans in their homes, workplaces, schools, health facilities, tourist attractions, and other public spaces. In these visits, students will learn about family life (through staying with families), subsistence and commercial level agricultural production and processing, education at the K-12 level and above, health, and tourism. The course will use concepts and methods developed by the anthropology of globalization studies to analyze the readings, observations, and experiences of the students in Kenya.
