This is an introductory survey of the historical, political and socio-cultural experience of the global Africans with particular reference to the African
Americans. The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the field of Africana studies. An interdisciplinary approach will be used to examine the
eight primary subject areas of Black experience in the US. They include: history, religion, social organization, politics, economics, creative culture,
psychology and education. The major strands of Afro-centric social theory and protest thought will also be employed to study the resistance and social
change strategies embodied in the works and actions of movements, historical figures and creative cultural productions.

This course is designed to examine the concept of "Black Consciousness" within a multi-faceted context, covering its historical, philosophical,
sociological, cultural and political roots as well as its various manifestations in Africa and its Diaspora. Leading exponents of the concept including
Edward Wilmot Blyden, Martin Delaney, Marcus Garvey, Frantz Fanon, Aime Cesaire, Leopold Senghor, Steve Biko, Malcolm X, and music artists
such as James Brown, Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and "Culture," among others will be discussed and analyzed. The concept evokes a wide range of
reactions from adherents of the dominant Eurocentric paradigms as well as from emerging adherents of Afrocentric and related paradigms. Students will
be provided with a rich array of constructs, debates, events and analyses, utilizing multi-media channels such as academic texts, popular magazines,
video and audio tapes as well as music in its various formats, so as to further their research and learning interests, and to make real life connections to
both the abstract and pragmatic dimensions of the concept.

Sport captures the minds and money of billions of people everyday, the Olympics, World Cup Soccer, American College Football, and Little League
World Series. Yet despite its overwhelming significance in everyday life it goes largely ignored in Anthropological discussions. This course serves to
introduce students to the significance and centrality of sport in understanding and interpreting social life. Sport will be critically examined through
major anthropological categories of race, class, ethnicity, gender and power. We will be using sport as the focal point with which to examine varying
attitudes, institutions and social dynamics. This will not be a history of sport nor will it be a cross-cultural comparison of different kinds of sport from
around the world but rather this course will seek to demonstrate to you how sport figures into shaping of our worldview and structuring of social
institutions.

This course takes a critical look at the narratives and discourses in and around race and its relationship to scientific thought that both essentializes and
naturalizes bodies and their capabilities. We will explore narratives which use the tool and authoritative voice of science, scientific method and genetics.
In addition, we will look at some of the historical and contemporary narratives of the biological underpinnngs of race discourse and its incorporation into
everyday imaginings of social identities. We will look at blogs, internet posts, media, and academic literature to view and critique the ways in which
science logic becomes racialized logic.

Introduction to the study of our species fossil past and its evolutionary relationships to other 'higher' primates (monkeys and apes). In order to pursue this
topic properly we will delve into the areas of comparative anatomy, geology, and paleontology, as well as evolutionary theory, especially the concept of
'species' and figuring out evolutionary relationships. Lectures will rely heavily on slides and weekly handouts. There will be three exams. All will be
based on T/F, multiple choice, fill-in, and 'identify this structure or specimen' types of questions. The final grade will be based on these exams, (e.27%,
27%, 27%), as well as attendance in lecture and recitations, participation in recitation, and performance on quizzes (19%). Students must enroll in a
recitation section which serves as a forum for review as well as for the presentation of information complementary to the main lectures. This material

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Central Asia has once again emerged as a location of intrigue, serving as an area of strategic importance for the
military campaign in Afghanistan; as a region where former communist continue to undergo the challenging transition to state independence; and as an
expanse where superpower politics of Russia, China and the United States vie for influence over resources and regional politics. Most discussion of
Central Asia, however, is initiated in relation to outside influences and the impact of inter-state policies--such as U.S. interests in Central Asia or the
influence of Russia in the region--rather than looking at Central Asia from the view of Central Asia itself--how Central Asians see themselves locally
and regionally. Building on the strength of anthropology as field that tries to understand the local context of events, this course will encourage the
examination of historical and contemporary events in Central Asia through the frame of everyday life. How, for example, did the Soviet period influence
daily life and how do those influences continue to have sway in the religious and political interests of people living in Central Asia today? This course
will provide students a good introduction to post-Soviet Central Asia, which for terms of the course is understood as the countries of Kazakhstan,
Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. It will also, however, introduce a framework for analyzing national and international events in
relation to the everyday, lived world that will have theoretical utility to understanding other regions.

This course will analyze the role development organizations, state and international actors, and community identities (ethnic and religious) play in
violent conflict, as well as how these factors can serve as resources aiding the amelioration of conflict and the processes of reconciliation. In doing this,
we will seek to advance the understanding of political processes and of how political and social factors influence thought and action. To achieve these
goals we will examine social theory to see how people have attempted to understand the problem of social order; undertake readings on conflict and
peacebuilding to understand the frame and response to the issues; and ethnographies and case studies to understand cultural contexts and the
mechanisms of ordering human life and what role they play in leading communities into violent conflict. In addition, the class will examine the
relationship between religion and politics, and explore the challenges and hopes held in language around tolerance.

This course explores some of the ways in which anthropology has intersected with psychology. It begins with a survey of the way anthropologists have
borrowed psychological idioms/theories in their research, and then shifts to more recent work in which anthropologists have approached psychologists,
and the mental health fields more broadly, as subjects for ethnographic research. Topics covered include: studies of 'culture and personality,'
anthropologies of emotion and affect, trans-cultural psychiatry, the political-economy of psychological services, global mental health, and the expansion
of pharmaceutical living.

This seminar is organized around the theme of exchange between money and sex--both of which are circulated currency across and beyond the market.
Money is a powerful universal medium that enables the purchase of commodities and human interaction. Sex is not only a biological trait and a way of
human connection but also a means to shape the social order and power dynamics. How can money and sex articulate with specific economic relations?
How do money and sex shape or challenge the social order (class, gender, ethnicity, and race), and who would gain empowerment and constraint in the
transaction between money and sex? In what way does the very exchange ask us to rethink desire and ethics with which we are familiar? In order to
explore these inquiries, we examine the theories on exchange (fetish, money and gift), desire and intimacy, labor and consumption, and power and
ethics. A particular historical context ranges from colonialism, post-Cold War, post-socialism and global economy that fundamentally constitutes the
contemporary world. Specific topics covered include; family, dating, and marriage; gendered labor and colonialism; sex work and pornography industry;
body (parts/organ) for sale, plastic surgery, and new reproductive technologies; queer identities and activism.

Undergraduate Seminar. The state is a ubiquitous presence in our lives. To enroll in school, we must produce a birth certificate. To travel, we must
produce a passport. To drive, we must possess a license. To work, we need a social security number. The state, in other words, is an entity which
enables us to act in and on the world. This course explores this phenomenon by asking the question: What is the state? It begins with an exploration of
stateless societies before delving into various theories on the origin and meaning of the state. As it does so, it pays particular attention to the symbolic
dimensions of the state and then uses these discussions to think about issues like violence, liminality, and reciprocity.

and describe surroundings with a bit of detail; 2) understand enough spoken French to grasp main ideas and supporting details in short conversations
related to topics above; 3) read well enough to understand principal themes and most details in simple literary and non-literary texts; 4) write longer and
more cohesive paragraphs; 5) cultivate a deeper understanding of French-speaking cultures; 6) gain a better understanding of how French works as a
language. TAUGHT IN FRENCH

how to evaluate historical evidence and arguments. They will work to improve their ability to read critically and to write formal argument-driven prose.
This course will accomplish this through a critical look at the development of the political thought and action of one of the twentieth century's most
controversial, prolific and influential figures, Mao Zedong. Through critical reading, students will come to their own informed conclusions about the
legacy of Mao and Maoism. Writing and re-writing assignments form a major part of the course. Several short writing assignments will precede a longer

Advertising is everywhere in capitalist societies. Institutions use it to sell-- a service, a commodity, a brand, a fantasy, a lifestyle, a political position, a
person, a behavior, even war and peace. Since the 1980s advertising has received serious scholarly attention from scholars in the social sciences and
humanities. These studies explain how advertising since the 1890s has succeeded in insinuating itself into every facet of American life. We will study
the techniques ad agencies and ad professionals have used to influence our tastes in fashion, food, and home décor; our aspirations for the good life;
our understanding of political issues and choices of political candidates; our gender roles and our racial, sexual and national identities. We will study
how technological innovations such as radio, television, and the internet have shaped the nature of ads. Consumers and citizens have not blindly
accepted what ads say. The history of advertising also features the mobilization of ordinary people in the 1930s, 1960s, 1980s, and 2000s to tame the
power of advertising.Students will write several three-page essays and a draft and revision of a 10-12 page essay on a topic of their choosing.

This course will examine historical patterns of race relations in the U.S., Latin America (Brazil, Cuba), Africa (South Africa), and Asia (India). For
India, the focus will be more on caste relations, particularly untouchability, as a counterpoint to caste-like race relations in the U. S. and South Africa.
The course will include pictures, videos and other materials acquired on trips to those locations in 1993, 1997 and 2002. The overall goal of the course
will be comparative: to examine the operation of these processes in a variety of economic, political and cultural settings.

This course is designed to provide students with a sociological perspective on medical beliefs, practices, and delivery systems. The practice of medicine
is embedded in a particular social system, and social factors have an effect on our understanding of illness, the distribution of illness in the population,
how/where/by whom medicine is practiced, and also how it is paid for. In addition, ethical decisions about life and death are based in social belief
systems which evolve historically in response to technological developments and changing practice possibilities. Students in this course will develop an
understanding of how medical practices can be interpreted within a social and historical context, and will apply this knowledge to issues which are
current in medicine today: the crisis in health care delivery, the effects of technological advances on conceptions of health and illness, the treatment
challenge of multicultural patient populations, and ethical dilemmas in medical decision making.This is a CGS Web course with web based instruction
and weekly web interaction is required. Students must have Internet access to take this course.

Health Care is of the most debated subjects in the US. The US is the only industrialized nation to not offer its citizens basic health care services. At the
same time, we possess some of the latest and greatest medical technology, pharmaceuticals, and services in the world. This course is designed to
provide students with a sociological perspective on medical beliefs, practices, and delivery systems. The practice of medicine is embedded in a particular
social system, and social factors have an effect on our understanding of illness, the distribution of illness in the population, how/where/by whom
medicine is practiced, and also how it is paid for. In addition, ethical decisions about life and death are based in social belief systems which evolve
