What is cultural relativism? In
What is cultural relativism? In this episode of Theory To Go, we will define the term and address the ways in which the concept is used in anthropology and qualitative sociology. We will also touch on the major criticisms of cultural relativism -- which come, mainly, from outside of the social sciences -- and discuss how anthropologists have historically responded to those criticisms.
The host, Dr. Alexander K. Smith, holds an MA from Oxford University and a PhD in the anthropology of Tibet and the Himalayas from the University of Paris, France.
