Anthropology 105 - Language,Culture&Communication

Language is an important cultural and political force that shapes all aspects of our individual lives and shared experiences as communities. This class explores the causes and consequences of how people learn to use language, of common beliefs about "accents," and of how language changes over time. We will investigate the power of language in many current issues such as health, climate change, racism, and transphobia. (Gen.Ed. SB, DG)
