Course Outcomes
Anthropology-Mormonism
Students will gain a knowledge of the development of Mormonism as a distinct religious and cultural force within American society as well as its impact in world-wide contexts. The emergence of Mormonism as a 'culture' and the evolution of its assumptions and unique cultural characteristics will also be emphasized. Students will gain practice in applying current anthropological theories to a culture familiar to the majority of participants, but perhaps never thought about by students through the disciplinary assumptions of anthropology.
