EDUC-207 The University

Just what is a university, understood anthropologically? How do we understand its many subcultures, its organizational forms, its economies and its ideological functions? In this course, we will critically examine these questions, and discuss how "the university" is shaped by forces of globalization, migration, neoliberalism, and discourses of diversity. We will read ethnographies about "the university", analyzing how "the university," as a cultured institution, produces and reproduces various forms of inequality as well as generates new forms of subjectivity.
