Course Description and Content

This course is designed for students to understand
human behavior, particularly behavior with regard
to dress and appearance, from a cultural perspective.
Theories of cultural anthropology will be used to
explain and understand how and why humans dress and
adorn themselves as they do.  How dress and appearance
are influenced by the technology, social structures
and world view of different cultural systems will be
studied.  The course focuses on cultures of the world,

discussion formats.
