• ANTH 3730: Social Memory and Identity

  3.00 Credits

  
  What does it mean for a society to remember or forget? Cross-culturally, the past informs the present and shapes the future. But how do people learn about their cultural pasts and how does that knowledge shape their daily lives? This course studies how different societies construct, maintain, or erase the past. We will consider what it means to remember through careful study of memory sites, discourses, images, narratives, and practices. The first course section will focus on theories of memory and the ethnographic methods anthropologists use to study those memories. The next course section consists of cross-cultural explorations of the important ways in which memory practices vary. This course is designed to give students hands-on experience with memory research. In addition to targeted lectures and interactive discussions, students will complete individual and collaborative assignments that require them to apply class concepts to the people and places in their communities.

• ANTH 3750: The Anthropology of Dreaming

  3.00 Credits

  
  This class surveys anthropological approaches to cultural dreamscapes. Students will learn how conceptions instrumental to dreaming differ between societies and what these differences signify about the experience of personhood. The course?explores how ethnotheories of dreaming found in diverse regions relate to a wide range of cultural dynamics, such as history, gender, religion, memory, politics, selfhood, and more. Through study of these dynamics, students will learn how dream narratives capture the culture of a time and place. Course material is organized to offer?a holistic account of dreaming and integrates perspectives from anthropology, psychology, history, and women?s studies. Through the application of analytical methods developed in anthropology,?students will learn to apply ideas about the self and culture to their own lives, causing them to think critically about their own cultural positionality and the selfhood forms they naturalize.

• ANTH 4030: Archaeology Stewardship

  3.00 Credits

  
  ANTH 4030 examines the stewardship of cultural resources on public lands and the presentation of archaeological information to the public. In this course we explore the broad range of laws that govern archaeological research on public lands. We also address field methodology and artifact analysis; site and artifact preservation; interpretation and ethics. We conclude by investigating a variety of approaches for presenting archaeology to the public. Throughout the course, we consider how best to manage archaeological resources, collaborate effectively and ethically with descendant communities, and bring the past in to the present.

  3.00 Credits

  
  This course looks at human society as related to so-called ?development? and humanitarian aid in the broader context of globalization. Social scientists focus on the local-level processes and experiences, and work to situate those in the larger, macro-level settings. This class will address important themes: 1) cross-cultural and historical perspectives on global relationships; 2) humanitarian aid through political and economic lenses; and 3) community-based approaches to development.

• ANTH 4350: Practicum in Applied Anthropology

  3.00 Credits

  
  This variable-topic course focuses on the practice of doing anthropology. This course is designed to help students make the transition from term paper research to critical (and largely self-directed) research projects. The topic of the course is variable, with an emphasis on a topic that is important to the community in which the project is conducted. Although the course is also intended to examine in detail a particular topic, the primary objective of the seminar is to introduce students to research methods and practices common in Applied Anthropology, and to help students think about how they might use these in their own future endeavors. Repeatable with different topic up to six (6) credits toward the major. Check with department for upcoming topics. (Spring) [Graded (Standard Letter)]Prerequisite(s): ANTH 1010 - Prerequisite Min.

• ANTH 4970: Ethnographic Writing and Practice

  3.00 Credits

  
  This course is designed to give students hands-on experience with constructing original ethnographic research projects and implementing them using a variety of field methods. Through this course, students will study a wide array of methodological case studies from which to build on when completing their own research. Each week, students will learn both practical skills and the many theoretical underpinnings of doing ethnographic research, including cross-cultural considerations and ethical implications of specific methods; techniques for conducting successful interviews; recording quality fieldnotes and navigating the challenges of participant observation; and more. Learning by doing will be a priority through the application of a unique combination of research methods tailored to fit each student?s particular project, which can include some of the following: map-making, perusal of local archival resources, constructing kinship charts, shadowing, interviewing, collecting life histories, dream analysis, participant observation, and designing a survey. At the completion of this course, students will analyze their ethnographic data and synthesize it in a formal research paper.
