AN 309 - People and Cultures of Scandinavia

4.00 credits.
From the Norse (Vikings) to the historic and modern populations of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden, Scandinavia is a linguistically and culturally diverse area. Using anthropological theory, archaeological evidence and ethnographic writings, students explore the region through classroom activities and virtual visits to the region through popular films and videos. Students learn the differences within the region that make each country unique but also the similarities that separate Scandinavia from the rest of Europe.
