AFST H245B Ethnographies of Africa: Culture, Power and Identity
This course is a historical overview of some classic and contemporary ethnographic studies of Africa. The course focuses on
the contribution of social anthropology to our understanding of the history and socio-cultural identities and practices of
the people of Africa.

ANTH H103B Introduction to Anthropology
An introduction to the basic ideas and methods of social anthropology. Examines major theoretical and ethnographic concerns
of the discipline from its origins to the present, such as family and kinship, production and reproduction, history and
evolution, symbolism and representation, with particular attention to such issues as race and racism, gender and sexuality,
class, and ethnicity.

ANTH H155B Themes in the Anthropology of Religion: Ritual
What is it that rituals actually do? Are they enactments (affirmations) of collective ideals or are they arguments about
these? Are they media for political action or are they expressions of teleological phenomena? The course is a comparative
study of ritual and its place in religious practice and political argumentation. Concrete case studies will include an
initiation ritual in South Africa, the Communion Sacrament in Christianity, a Holocaust commemorative site in Auschwitz, and
the cult of spirit-possession in Niger.

ANTH H202B Among Men: Social Construction of Masculinities
A comparative exploration of the socio-cultural politics of gender, with particular reference to masculinity, the course
combines an intellectual historical approach, i.e. how the related notions of maleness, manhood and masculinity have
featured in the history of social thought, and a thematic focus on issues such as the men's movements, popular culture,
queer movement, etc. While the course will be grounded on an anthropological notion of the social basis of power, culture
and identity formation, the readings will nonetheless be interdisciplinary--including historical narratives, literature and
film ethnographies (from Africa and the United States) and critical work from fields such as queer, feminist and
postcolonial studies.

ANTH H228B Reproductive Justice, Social Movements, and Civil Society
An exploration of ethnographic approaches to women’s reproductive justice issues, as well as look at reproduction in the
broader structural (socioeconomic and political) contexts in which it is situated. We will focus on specific topics such as
abortion, contraception, sterilization, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and how these issues are connected to other
social justice issues such as poverty, environmentalism, and welfare reform.

ANTH H250B Reading Mexico, Reading Ethnography
This course examines the ethnography of contemporary Mexico, focusing upon themes such as gender, ethnic, and class
inequality; social movements and protest; nationalism and popular culture; and urbanization and migration. Class will begin
by exploring various approaches to reading, writing, and analyzing ethnographic texts; through deep reading of select
ethnographies, we will examine the relationships between power, culture, and identity in Mexico while assessing current
trends in anthropological fieldwork and ethnographic writing.

This course surveys anthropological approaches to the Middle East and North Africa, with a focus on themes of
representation. In addition, we will explore questions of gender, religion, nation-state, colonialism, tribes, subject
formation, and sexuality. We will examine a range of critical methodologies applying them to a variety of ethnographic
sources that anthropologists have been using in their studies, namely archives, fieldwork, poetry, memorials, science and
technology.

ANTH H258B Culture & Identity
This course will explore the topic of Culture and Identity through a specific interest in the politics of indigeneity. We
will pursue two lines of inquiry: 1) how the politics of indigeneity reveal, extend, and undermine the logics of liberal
multiculturalism, in diverse ways stemming from diverse histories; and 2) how the politics of indigeneity may unsettle
Anthropology as a discipline and demand “decolonizing methodologies.”

ANTH H309B Anthropology and Urban Ecology
This course addresses the field of “urban ecology” from the transdisciplinary perspective of “political ecology.” The latter
denotes a concern with how nature is configured by societal forms of power (as an object of public concern, expert
knowledge, and everyday senses of place), but can also refer to networks of human and non-human actors (including citizens,
bureaucrats, plants, animals, artifacts, ideas, etc.) that comprise specific controversies in urban and environmental
politics. This class will focus on a single problem of environmental politics and the challenge to make its complexity
visible and compelling to those interested in environmental justice.

ANTH H312B Ethnographic Poetics: Advanced Readings in Black Feminist Theory & Praxis
Black feminist theory, produced primarily by Black women scholars, artists, and activists, throughout the diaspora,
constitutes a distinctive and influential body of politics and thought. In this course we will explore current ethnography
that continues in this tradition. These works are then placed in conversation with interdisciplinary texts such as creative
non-fiction, poetry, and visual essays that explore the interstitial experiences of black women’s political subjectivities.

ANTH H353B Citizenship, Migration, and Belonging
Migration, displacement and tourism at a mass scale are a modern phenomenon. These different forms of movements have
intensified debates over the other, identity, home, and exile. This course offers a critical examination of the question of
human movement in the age of globalization. Some of the issues that will we focus on include: national identity and
globalization, mass media, nostalgia and the notion of home, and imagination of the past/home among migrant groups. The
course will also explore new academic approaches that have emphasized hybrid identities and double-consciousness among both
migrant communities and the host countries.

BIOL H312H Development & Evolution
This course introduces important links between developmental and evolutionary biology. Genetic changes that produce
variations between organisms are an important aspect of evolutionary change. Since development can be viewed as a process
that links genetic information to final form of an organism, the fields of development and evolution clearly impact one
another. We will look at model developmental systems where mechanisms have been elucidated in remarkable detail. We will
then look beyond model systems to comparative studies in a range of organisms, considering how these provide insight into
evolutionary mechanisms, and how underlying differences in development may account for the differences we see between
organisms.
