4 semester hoursUndergraduateLectureNUpath ICNUpath WItypical days: M/W/ThBostonTraditional

Considers how rural areas are socially, geographically, and culturally constructed by political, social, and racialized forces through both isolationist and extractive practices. Confronts rurality as a political image, showing how it takes on both meanings of belonging and otherness depending on its context and usage. Explores the theoretical concept of rurality and its relationship to colonialism; regional case studies; and intersectional issues of gender, sexuality, race, class, and social inequality. Offers students an opportunity to explore essential topics in and related to the anthropology of rural studies.
