Description

Provide a dialogue in your classroom with CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY: A PROBLEM-BASED APPROACH, 7th Edition. Using a hands-on, participatory, active-learning approach that encourages critical thinking and discussion, this leading text introduces key research problems studied by anthropologists. Within the book s engaging narrative, authors Richard Robbins and Rachel Dowty teach students to analyze their own culture as a basis for understanding the cultures of others. The approach is intended to appeal to the learning styles of a diverse student population. Presentations are organized around research problems rather than topics, creating a natural, integrated discussion of traditional concerns, such as kinship, caste, gender roles, and religion. Students explore these subjects within the context of meaningful questions. The text s brief length and manageable cost provide the flexibility to add original research or ethnographies to enrich students exposure to anthropology.
