ANT 385 - The Anthropology of Tourism

(4 credits)
An introduction to the study of tourism from the perspective of anthropology. Although the anthropology of tourism is a relatively new field of social science inquiry, its objects of study - travel, cross-cultural interaction, and culture change - are as old as the discipline of anthropology itself. Topics covered include defining tourism, typologies of tourism and tourists, the theory of tourism, tourist arts and crafts, ethnicity and heritage in tourism, sustainable tourism, eco-tourism, the social and cultural impacts of tourism, and managing tourism. This course may fulfill a General Education Requirement.
