Topics course. This course examines the universal and science-based frameworks in which notions of risk are identified. From a cross-cultural perspective, we consider how social and cultural forces also drive identification of risk and anticipation of danger. Cases from public health, medicine, environmental and development studies are used to examine the contingency of risk theory in practice.
Topic: Anthropology and Risk. Instructor permission. Not open to first-years, sophomores
