Course considers how anthropological theory and methods enhance our understanding of contemporary social and political issues, including immigration, education, affirmative action, and welfare. It examines the relationship between social policy and social science knowledge, and the juxtapositioning of anthropological, policy, and other analytical approaches to contemporary issues. It assesses the strengths and limits of anthropological knowledge (its qualitative, ethnographic, and narrative character) for addressing these issues.
