NEW  FALL 2013 ANTHROPOLOGY COURSE OFFERINGS

ANTH 202: Archaeology Survey
Topic: European Archaeology
Description: This course introduces students to the rich archaeological legacy of Europe, from Neanderthals and Paleolithic cave paintings through prehistoric ritual sites such as Stonehenge to the ruins of the Classical and Medieval epochs. The deep roots of the European past laid the foundation for its later history and continue to resonate in ethnic and cultural identities today. (Ragan)

ANTH 200-001/HIST 215-003:

Topic: Memory & History

Description: How do societies remember, forget, and commemorate the past? How is history “made”? In this course, we will examine the ways in which the past has been approached by historians, anthropologists, and the public through a series of case studies and media sources from around the globe. We will explore the nature of collective memory as a value-laden process in which multiple stories about the past contend and struggle for recognition, for moral judgment, and for emotional impact.  (Boroughs)

ANTH 201-151: Cultural Anthropology Survey

Topic: Cultures of Southeast Asia

Description: Using short stories, films, and ethnographies, this course introduces students to the cultural complexity in modern Southeast Asia. The course surveys this vital region's tremendous cultural diversity as it addresses the effects of colonialism, the Cold War, and globalization. (Dwyer)

HONORS 311-042/HIST 215-002:

Topic: Black Music: Soundscapes of Diaspora, Race, & Resistance

Description: This course will explore African-oriented musical traditions through the past four centuries in the diasporic historical and cultural contexts of creation—exploring popular music from both sides of the Atlantic, the U.S., and the Caribbean, touching upon concepts such as race, enslavement, and resistance. This course will come right up to the present—through spirituals and the blues, jazz, music of the Civil Rights era and politically salient diasporic musicians such as Bob Marley and Fela Kuti and through to Samba, Reggae, and Hip Hop.
