Anthropology 275 - Aboriginal Australia

Institution:

St Lawrence University

Subject:

Description:

This course examines the richness and diversity of traditional Australian Aboriginal cultures from perspectives including archaeology, ecology, economics, social organization, politics, religion, gender relations and modern problems that come with urbanization, economic development and incorporation into an Anglo-European state system. The description and analysis of dominant Aboriginal themes are set within a broader framework of anthropological theory and inquiry through time. Students will learn about the nature of social and cultural forms as they are thought to have been prior to the European invasion and during colonization and how these have been adapted (or resisted adaptation) to the contemporary Australian socio-cultural system. Recommended for students applying to study in Australia.
