ANTH 111 - Construction/Deconstruction-Ra

Institution:

College of Charleston

Subject:

Anthropology

Description:

This course provides a biocultural examination of the role anthropologists have played in constructing and, more recently, in deconstructing the concept of "race". From the classificatory "race science" of the last century to the mapping of modern human genetics, this course will examine the interaction of science, history, politics, and society. In addressing the invention of the social construct of "race", we will discuss how contemporary biological anthropologists are deconstructing and undermining the "race" concept through a more comprehensive understanding of human variation.
