Conflict, Security, and Well-Being (CSWB) is an Anthropology minor track designed for International Studies majors who are interested in learning what global citizenship means for them personally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anthropology as a discipline is committed to an understanding of human diversity and making intelligible different ways of inhabiting the world. Whereas anthropology was once seen as confined to the study of primitive societies, contemporary anthropology is fully engaged in asking how the cultural diversity we encounter raises ethical and political questions about the universality of human rights, or the impact of globalization on livelihoods in metropolitan centers, or the resurgence of piracy as an economic activity. The faculty in the Department of Anthropology specialize in several regions of the world, including Africa, South Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, and North America. Courses offered at the undergraduate level cover a wide variety of topics and regional specializations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CSWB major-minor track with International Studies offers a specialized set of courses, requiring two core courses and four electives, which will allow students to apply anthropological approaches to understand contemporary issues such as the crisis of democracy, the changing nature of war, what human security entails in precarious environments, or the pressures of pandemics upon systems<\/p>\n\n\n\n
