Description: This Learning Community will introduce students to the diversity of cultural systems throughout the world with a special emphasis on social justice and environmental justice issues as analyzed through the intersectional lenses of ethnicity, race, gender, and cultural identity. ANT102 is specifically designed to expose students to the varied ways people live today and to trace the historical, political, and global developments that impact cultural change, particularly in regards to indigenous and marginalized communities. EGL102 strengthens student strategies for planning, writing, and revising research-based essays, which includes critical reading and analysis, the structure of argument, and the use of sources. In this Learning Community, we will place special emphasis on globalization, racial justice, and gender inequality and their effects.
