授業概要   Course Description While earlier commentators on globalization predicted a new 21st century where increased communication and movement would make cultural differences increasingly irrelevant, today’s headlines spell out a reality where cultural divisions still matter a great deal. Rather than the flattening of difference, globalization has signaled the increasing contact and proximity of different ways of living and systems of belief. But to what effect?

In this course, we will explore the question: how do interactions between ? and within ? different cultures impact society? Through a survey of different cases and methods, students will develop skills in analyzing what culture is, and how difference within and between cultures has shaped the economics, politics, and everyday life of contemporary society. Through collaborative reading exercises and presentations that apply course concepts, our class will develop skills in understanding how culture impacts both individuals’ actions and larger social structures.
到達目標   Class Goals ・Identify key concepts in the study of culture
・Practice reading, speaking, and writing skills through collaborative group work
