Thank you for enrolling in ANTH 11, Latin American Culture and Society, a fully online course through CityOnline at CCSF. I look forward to being your professor and working together to make anthropology meaningful and memorable, as well as practical so that you leave with an intellectual toolkit that is valuable for many academic pursuits as well as in your own daily lives.
ANTH 11 is a challenging course, based on the comprehensive and critical analysis of the cultures and traditions of Latin American and Caribbean peoples. Critical in-depth study of contemporary society and political systems, inter-ethnic relations, traditional medicinal healing, religions, and sorcery are among the interesting topics we will explore in this class.
After successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
