This class was a breath of fresh air! It was so nice to be taught by someone who is passionate about the material and truly cares about her students. I actually looked forward to coming to her class, which NEVER happens in my other classes. There was a lot of reading, but the TAKE-HOME papers were based on all of it, so it was worth the time. Prof. Mahon is incredibly approachable and leads great discussions in class instead of just lecturing. I would recommend her to anyone, even if you're not an anthro major (which i'm not) because you will learn things about life, not just what is in the textbooks.
