Building on the idea that we reside on a planet that is an interconnected web of people and environment, this class will explore the relationship between human behavior and culture using Western psychological theories and indigenous notions of self and society. Through class discussion, readings and an examination of visual and verbal documents (e.g., art, music, stories) of selected contemporary and ancient African, American, Asian and European societies, students will gain a greater understanding of cultural variation in human behavior and development.
