ANT 3258, The Anthropology of Violence & Warfare, will be voted on as a new course. The course would be worth 3 credits and would start being offered in the 2020 Spring Semester.

According to the course proposal, the reason for the proposal is “violence is central to the collective lived experience and history of humankind.”

Prerequisites for the class would be ANT 2200G or 2290G.

The course has been offered twice as a Special Topics sociology course, according to the course proposal. The reason for proposal is to “transition the course to a permanent listing in the undergraduate catalog.”
