IB Social and Cultural Anthropology (SL)

IB Social and Cultural Anthropology is a college-level comparative study of human societies and culture. It explores both the universal principles of social and cultural life and characteristics of specific societies and cultures. Topics include small groups, as well as kinship relations, symbolism, exchange, political organizations, social control and gender. The course examines society from the small scale to the complex industrial scale, as well as modern nation states. The course culminates in an external assessment that provides the possibility of college credit.
