ANT 440 - ANTHROPOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES ON CHILD GROWTH

College of Arts & Sciences

Credit(s): 3

This course examines basic concepts of child growth and development, the evolutionary pattern of human growth and comparative patterns of human growth across populations. Taking a biocultural approach, it explores the many influences that facilitate or constrain child growth, including poverty, gender ideology, nutrition, and illness, focusing especially on social inequality. Taking a child-centered approach the course also focuses on the lives of children, how children cope with the circumstances of their lives, and the effect of those circumstances on their well- being.
