This introduction into Cultural Anthropology will define concepts of culture along with aspects of culturral learning and becoming through lived processes. The course will cover themes such as the environment, forms of economy, religion, language, kinship, politics, psyche (conscience and decision making) worldview and ways of thinking and will clarify their relationship to culture. In practical exercises (ethnographic interviewing, participant observation) and case studies, students will learn about anthropological research methods and theories esp. those of great relevance for theology and mission studies such as the Anthropology of Christianity.
