Anthropology Course Offerings FALL 2020 ANTH 001 Intro to Social/Cultural Anthropology Anna Corwin MWF 9:15-10:20 Limited to incoming Frosh & Soph What is culture and how important is it in explaining the marvelous varia%ons we see in human behavior around the world? Are gender roles fixed? Can you dis4nguish religion from magic? What do anthropologists do, and how can anthropology contribute to a be%er world? Besides giving you a grounding in the basic concepts of anthropology, this course will help you answer these ques2ons through readings on the lives of people in different cultures throughout the world: drug dealers in New York, the world of a Maasai warrior in Africa, what it’s like to grow up as a poor Mayan in Guatemala (and eventually win the Nobel Peace Prize), life in an Iraqi village before Saddam Hussein, how Na9ve South Americans cope with globaliza4on, and the mysterious rites and rituals of American college students. The readings, class discussions, and lectures will be supplemented by slides, videos, CDs, and DVDs. This class is recommended for 1st and 2nd year students (except for Anth majors & minors). Fulfills Core Curriculum Requirements: Social, Historical, and Cultural Understanding, Global Perspec6ves, and The Common Good ANTH 117 Anthropology of Religion Anna Corwin MF 1:00-2:40 Through the study of ethnographic texts, social science theory, and first-person accounts of religious experiences, students will examine a range of religious rituals, tradi3ons, and experiences with a focus on the intersec2on of religion and gender. In the course, students will encounter a number of religious tradi.ons including Catholicism, Evangelical Chris&anity, Hinduism, and Shamanism. Through the close examina’on of ethnographic texts, students will gain an apprecia’on for diverse social, cultural, ethical, and theological religious tradi/ons and how gender and religion intersect in diverse ways in different cultural contexts. Students will gain the skills to analyze various religious tradi&ons including Catholicism, Evangelical Chris&anity, Hinduism in Banares, Magic in the Trobriand Islands, and Shamanism among the Cuna. In addi.on to the readings and papers, students will also be asked to conduct an ethnography in which they a/end a religious event and analyze it from both a believer’s perspec5ve and drawing on the methods and perspec.ves of social science theory. Prerequisite: Anth 001 or 005 or have permission of the instructor. Fulfills Core Curriculum Requirement: Theological Explora0ons ANTH 130 Anthropological Theory Cynthia Van Gilder T/TH 9:45-11:20 How do anthropologists make decisions about what kinds of ques%ons to research, data to collect, or conclusions to form? Each step of the anthropological process is informed by theory, or the analy,cal frameworks scholars use to make sense of the cultural worlds they are inves3ga3ng. Students in this class will learn the major schools of thought in the history of anthropology through reading primary sources by influen&al anthropologists. Limited to Senior anthropology majors. ANTH 131 Cultural Geography Jennifer Heung T/TH 11:30-1:05 This course seeks to expose students to the breadth and excitement of the field of geography. Cultural geography studies the ways people shape and give meaning to their environment and allows us to look at the fascina4ng variety of human ac%vity in the world –the human landscape. Geographic knowledge is vital to understanding the na5onal and interna)onal issues that dominate daily news reports: problems of poverty, the environment, popula4on movements, economic development, etc. Through lectures, class discussions and ac+vi+es, films, readings of news and Internet sources, students will be exposed to a variety of cultural systems used to understand and construct the home of humankind. There is a course fee of $125. STUDENTS TAKING THIS COURSE SHOULD HAVE ALREADY TAKEN EITHER ANTH 001 OR 005 OR HAVE PERMISSION OF THE INSTRUCTOR. This course is cross-listed with Global & Regional Studies and Ethnic Studies. Fulfills Core Curriculum Requirement: Global Perspec8ves ANTH 135-01 Special Topics: Global Perspec0ves on Social Jus+ce Cynthia Van Gilder T/TH 1:15-2:50 As the study of human cultural diversity, anthropology is uniquely poised to provide valuable insights into challenges and opportunities in the world today. In this course we will explore anthropological perspectives on social justice topics such as the global economy and popular culture, loss of biodiversity and environmental sustainability, human rights and armed conflict, inequality and disease, and heritage management and cultural survival. Understanding local cultures and how they articulate with global systems helps us engage with the world around us in mutually beneficial ways for pleasure, profit, and improvement of the human condition. The four sub-disciplines of anthropology (cultural, biological, linguistic, and archaeological) provide a comprehensive framework through which to consider both universal and culturally specific visions of the common good and what it means to be human. ANTH 135-02 Special Topics: Anthropology of Sport Jennifer Heung T/TH 3:00-4:35 Turning an anthropological lens towards sport, this course examines how sport shapes and is shaped by poli0cal, cultural, and historical forces. Using ethnographic and popular descrip-ons of events such as cricket in India, aerobics in Japan, rugby in Fiji, and baseball in Cuba, we will examine the role of sports in crea(ng and challenging boundaries between individuals and communi-es. What can we learn about the categories of race, class, gender, and sexuality that are embedded in the many ac2vi2es and rituals that make up any given sport? Key themes such as the body, na#onalism, ci#zenship, globaliza#on, and transna#onalism will be inves*gated within cross-cultural contexts. ************************************************** ANTHROPOLOGY POLICY 1. Students taking an upper division course (Anth 100-135) should have already taken at least one lower division course (Anth 001 or 005) OR have permission of the instructor. 2.
