Independently taught the foundational cultural anthropology course.

Topics include history of anthropology, kinship and marriage, cultural evolution, economics, sex and gender, political organization, and globalization.

Anthropology 1500: Monkeys, Apes, & Humans

Taught FS 2019, SP 2020
Syllabus +
*Addendum to syllabus for COVID remote transition

Independently developed and taught an introductory course on primates, both human and non-human, suitable as an elective for anthropology majors as well as non-anthropology majors. This course is a broad survey of the Order Primates and their anatomy, evolution, and behavioral ecology. There is a strong emphasis on humans as a member of the Order and as a biological species. Despite personal research emphasis on demography, pandemics, and health, her expertise as an anthropologist qualifies her to effectively teach courses on a wide breadth of anthropological topics, such as primatology.
