Topic for Winter 2016: Humans and Alcohol—A Biocultural Approach
The relationship between humans and alcoholic beverages is both ancient and current. It is physiological and evolutionary, as well as social, cultural, and psychological. Alcohol use and abuse are also public health issues, and are subject to cultural interpretation. In this course we will use the tools of holistic and biocultural anthropology to analyze the ways in which alcohol consumption has shaped our biology and our behavior both in the present and in the past. We will then confront alcohol related practices and policies using the biocultural understandings that we develop.
