Topics include landscape as history and invention; ethnicity, economics and patterns of settlement; sacred spaces, churches and mosques; royal palaces; the influence of Islam on buildings and sedentarization in West Africa; the colonial city and colonial monuments; the modern industrial and administrative city; building for status and razing for resistance.
6725	ANTH-201-01	Intro to Cultural Anthropology	1.00	LEC	Hussain,Shafqat	TR: 1:30PM- 2:45PM	TBA		SOC
		Enrollment limited to 60
		This course introduces the theory and method of cultural anthropology as applied to the analysis of specific cultures. The focus will be on the analysis of specific cultures and case studies of societies from different ethnographic areas. Topics to be considered include ritual and symbol systems, gender, family and kinship, reciprocity and exchange, inequality and hierarchy, cultural intrusion and resistance, and social change.
6952	ANTH-207-01	Anth Persp Women & Gender	1.00	LEC	Nadel-Klein,Jane H.	TR: 2:55PM- 4:10PM	TBA		GLB5
		Enrollment limited to 30
		Using texts and films, this course will explore the nature of women’s lives in both the contemporary United States and a number of radically different societies around the world, including, for example, the !Kung San people of the Kalahari and the Mundurucù of Amazonian Brazil. As they examine the place of women in these societies, students will also be introduced to theoretical perspectives that help explain both variations in women’s status from society to society and "universal" aspects of their status.
7076	ANTH-228-01	Anth from Margins/South Asia	1.00	LEC	Hussain,Shafqat	MW: 11:00AM-12:15PM	TBA
		Enrollment limited to 25
		This course will examine how the northwestern and northern mountainous regions of South Asia have been constructed in the Western popular imagination, both in literary texts and in academic debates. Starting with the era of the Great Game in the late 19th century and ending with the current "war on terror," the course will explore the transformation and continuation of past social and political conditions, and their representations within the region. This will help illuminate some of the enduring themes in anthropological debates, such as culture contact; empires, territories, and resources; and human agency.
5451	ANTH-238-01	Economic Anthropology	1.00	LEC	Notar,Beth E.	TR: 9:25AM-10:40AM	TBA		GLB5
		Enrollment limited to 30
		NOTE: 10 seats are reserved for First Year Students
		We often assume that culture and the economy are separate, but all economic transactions contain cultural dimensions, and all cultural institutions exhibit economic features. This course provides an introduction to key debates and contemporary issues in economic anthropology. We will consider differences in the organization of production, distribution, and consumption in both subsistence and market economies and examine ways in which anthropologists have theorized these differences. Topics for discussion will include cultural conceptions of property and ownership, social transitions to market economies, the meanings of shopping, and the commodification of bodies and body parts such as organs and blood. Course materials will draw from ethnographic studies, newspaper articles, and documentary films.
6953	ANTH-252-01	Identites in Britain & Ireland	1.00	LEC	Nadel-Klein,Jane H.	TR: 10:50AM-12:05PM	TBA		GLB
		Enrollment limited to 30
		This course takes a close look at social diversity within Britain (England, Scotland, Wales), and Ireland (Northern and Eire). It will examine how class, race, ethnicity, gender, and region affect people’s sense of identity and participation as citizens within their nations and within the European Union. It will also investigate the ways communities are represented or represent themselves through tourism, heritage sites, and museums. Overall, the course engages the question of how a society does or does not transcend "difference."

5621	ANTH-401-01	Adv Sem in Contemp Anth	1.00	SEM	Nadel-Klein,Jane H. Notar,Beth E.	W: 1:15PM- 3:55PM	TBA		SOC
		Enrollment limited to 100
		Anthropologists are a contentious lot, often challenging the veracity and relevance of each other’s interpretations. In this seminar, students will examine recent manifestations of this vexatiousness. The seminar will consider such questions as: Can culture be regarded as collective and shared? What is the relationship between cultural ideas and practical action? How does one study culture in the postmodern world of "the celluloid, global ethnoscape"? Can the practice of anthropology be fully objective, or does it demand a politics—an understanding that ideas, ours and theirs, are historically situated, politicized realities? Is domination the same everywhere?

		Enrollment limited to 20
		Prerequisite: EDUC200 or INTS/LACS majors or Hispanic Studies majors or Anthropology majors or Permission of Instructor.
		NOTE: This course is affiliated with the Co-Education Co-Curricular Initiative for 2009-2010. Students enrolled in this course may enroll concurrently in College Course 150 “Co-Education: Past, Present, and Future” for 0.25 or 0.50 credit. Permission of instructor required.
		This course investigates the education of Latinos, the largest and fastest growing minority group in the United States. By examining both the domestic and transnational contexts, we explore these central questions: How do cultural constructions of Latinos (as immigrants and natives, citizens and non-citizens) shape educational policy and teaching practices? What views of citizenship and identity underlie school programs such as bilingual education, as well as Latino responses to them? This course fulfills the related field requirement for Hispanic studies majors. It will also include a community learning component involving a qualitative research project in a Hartford school or community organization.
6954	EDUC-316-01	Educ&Soc Change Across the Glb	1.00	LEC	Dyrness,Andrea	TR: 10:50AM-12:05PM	TBA		GLB5
		Enrollment limited to 25
		Prerequisite: A grade of C- or better in a prior Educational Studies or International Studies course, or consent of instructor.
		Through a comparative framework, this course examines the relationship between education and social change in various regions of the world. How do governments use schooling to produce certain kinds of citizens, and how do grassroots movements use education to resist these agendas? What role does education play in promoting democracy versus social and economic inequality? Students will conduct independent research on education in a country of their choice to contribute to the comparative framework.
6962	INTS-235-01	Youth Culture in the Muslim Wo	1.00	SEM	Bauer,Janet L.	WF: 1:15PM- 2:30PM	TBA		GLB
		Enrollment limited to 30
		Increasingly much of the Muslim world is young and with the expansion of media and cyberspace technologies, the circulation of globalized youth culture increasingly challenges taken-for-granted notions in local societies. This course examines the impact of youth and youth culture on personal, social, and political expression in a variety of Muslim communities around the world. We will examine intergenerational struggles over marriage, gender, and sexuality, the renegotiation of religion and morality, and the often 'revolutionary' disputes over conventional politics as conveyed through music, texts, fashion, personal memoirs, and cyberspace blogging.
6963	INTS-249-01	Immigrants & Refugees	1.00	SEM	Bauer,Janet L.	WF: 2:40PM- 3:55PM	TBA		GLB
		Enrollment limited to 30
		The post-cold war world is one of changing national boundaries and governments, environmental devastation and internal conflicts, resulting in an apparently unprecedented flow of people from their native homelands. At a time when multiculturalism is not a popular model for national integration, immigrants, refugees, and other sojourners find themselves in new places creating new lives for themselves. The processes by which this occurs illustrate some of the basic social, cultural, and political dilemmas of contemporary societies. Using historical and contemporary case studies from Europe and the Americas, this course looks at issues of flight, resettlement, integration, cultural adaptation, and public policy involved in creating culturally diverse nations. Questions to be raised include what are the conditions under which people leave, who can become a (authentic) member of society, what rights do non-citizens versus citizens have, are borders sacrosanct, are ethnic and racial diversity achievable or desirable, is multiculturalism an appropriate model, do people want to assimilate, what are the cultural consequences of movement, and how can individuals reconstruct their identities and feel they belong? This course includes a community learning component. (Also offered under American studies, comparative development, public policy and law, and women, gender, and sexuality.)
6964	INTS-261-01	The Indian City	1.00	LEC	Bordia,Devika	TR: 10:50AM-12:05PM	TBA		GLB
		Enrollment limited to 30
		The modern Indian city is shaped by the processes of colonialism and nationalism, of neoliberal desires and the reality of inequity. We shall investigate the early development of colonial port cities (Bombay, Madras, Calcutta), the colonial urban formations (cantonments, civil stations, hill stations), the creation of capital cities (New Delhi, Chandigarh, Bhubaneshwar and Gandhinagar), the planning of refugee towns (Faridabad, Nilokheri, and Gandhidham), the formation of industrial cities (Jamshedpur and Bhadrawati), and the mega-cities of the present.
6958	INTS-262-01	People/Culture of Caribb	1.00	LEC	Desmangles,Leslie G.	TR: 1:30PM- 2:45PM	TBA		GLB5
		Enrollment limited to 30
		A review of the attempt to develop generalizations about the structure of Caribbean society. Theoretical materials will focus on the historical role of slavery, the nature of plural societies, race, class, ethnicity, and specific institutions such as the family, the schools, the church, and the political structure.
7165	INTS-305-01	Global Self Governance	1.00	LEC	Bordia,Devika	TR: 1:30PM- 2:45PM	TBA
		Enrollment limited to 35
		This course focuses on modern global movements for self-governance ranging from anti-colonial struggles, pro-democracy movements, and initiatives to promote local governance and democratic decentralization in Africa, Asia and Latin America. We will examine practices associated with self governance including economic and political devolution, collective decision-making, participatory budgeting, dispute resolution, and truth commissions. This course also focuses on the broader conceptions of self-governance in different societies by looking at what it means to govern the self and govern others.
5689	LING-101-01	Introduction to Linguistics	1.00	LEC	Lahti,Katherine	WF: 2:40PM- 3:55PM	TBA		HUM
		Enrollment limited to 100
		A general introduction to the study of language. First we will study the fundamental components of language (sounds, words, sentences). We will then examine the crucial question of how words and sentences manage to mean anything. The latter part of the course will be devoted to theoretical approaches to the nature of language, to how and why languages change over time, and to the ways language determines and reflects the structures of society. (Also offered under Anthropology.)
7160	MUSC-220-01	Human Rights and Music	1.00	LEC	Galm,Eric A.	MW: 2:40PM- 3:55PM	AAC - 101		ART
		Enrollment limited to 25
		This course highlights the role of music in relation to human rights throughout the world. Material to be covered includes theoretical approaches towards the study of human rights and how music can serve as an important indicator of diverse social relationships in various contexts. It will also compare and contrast historical and cultural aspects of musical movements that were strongly connected to human rights in countries and regions such as Latin America and the Caribbean, the United States, South Korea, and South Africa.
7180	STAR-383-02	Seminar: Digital Documentary	1.00	SEM	Sureck,Shana M.	R: 1:00PM- 4:00PM	HL - 118	Y	ART
		Enrollment limited to 12

		As newspapers, magazines, and the book-publishing industry struggle for survival, the Internet has opened the door to a new and innovative method of story telling accessible to anyone with a computer; the multi-media slide show. In this course, each student will choose a documentary story about a social issue, a place, person, or subject of interest to them. Students will then learn the basics of digital photography, audio gathering (interviews, ambient sound, narration), sound editing, and visual storytelling to produce an audio slideshow on that topic. Together, the class will develop a Web site highlighting the projects.
