Anthropology 360 Legal and Ethical Issues in Anthropology |
|
This course examines in depth the current issues confronting anthropologists and those whose heritage they study. The legal foundations of these issues are studied in detail to prepare students for an understanding of the tenets of heritage resource management and conservation and the manner in which these fields relate to interpreting the cultural identity of traditional societies. By exploring the ethical dilemmas confronting anthropologists working in the various subfields, the student will come away from this course with an appreciation of the importance of ethically conscious practice in contemporary anthropological study. |
