Anthropology of Language, Economy, and Politics

Ever wonder how language and leadership quietly influence your daily life and decisions?

You'll uncover the hidden systems that define cultures globally, from the unspoken norms that shape social structures to the invisible ties between labor and politics. This course goes beyond the surface to help you decode how people relate, organize, and govern in diverse ways.

Through real-world case studies and fieldwork, from the resource-sharing of hunter-gatherers to the consensus-based leadership of the Igbo and Cuba’s entrepreneurial resilience, you’ll analyze global societies through linguistic, economic, and political anthropology lenses.
