Overview
What you will study
This Being Human - an introduction to Social Anthropology course offered by University of Cambridge begins by discovering how social anthropology contributes to some of the big questions: What does it mean to be human? What unites us? What divides us? The second portion of the course works through a series of examples to understand how different human societies understand and express concepts of family and kinship, governance and political organisation, resource management and connection to place. The course will show how an understanding of different cultures can inspire and guide responses to global crises that stand to impact all of humanity.
