In this 6 week course, learners will explore the four main branches of Anthropology, including Cultural Anthropology, Medical Anthropology, Linguistic Anthropology, and Archaeology. During the first week, we will touch on each branch and learn an overview of the concept of Anthropology. What is Anthropology and what does it mean to be a professional Anthropologist? During weeks two through five, we will dive deep into each branch separately, learning one style of Anthropology per week. We will talk about how to conduct ethical studies and how to practice safe and effective observation styles. We will also learn how to properly dig on an archaeological site. During the final week, we will have an open, student-led discussion about the topics we have learned during the first five weeks. Students will have the opportunity to discuss their future anthropological plans and learn what it takes to be a professional archaeologist! 

Learners do not need any prior knowledge of the subject and will not be required to do any homework. However, learners may want to conduct their own observations or archaeological digs after taking this class!
