This course aims to give graduate students a firm grounding in the development of anthropological thought from its roots in Enlightenment social philosophy and 19th century evolutionism to the emergence of poststructuralist theory in the late 20th century. Upon completion of this course students should be thoroughly familiar with the major theoretical schools and debates in the history of anthropology and the broader social discourses that shaped them.
