ANTH671

An exploration of how cultural and social constructions of gender, race, ethnicity, region, nationality, profession, discipline, workplace, and other categories of learned difference can influence how we interpret the self and the "other" and inadvertently lead to interpersonal communication breakdowns, intra-personal, interpersonal and/or intergroup conflict, including war and other hostilities. An exploration of how cultural understanding can lead to solutions in such breakdowns or conflicts.
