ANTH 28400 - Anthropological Exp in Alaska

Institution:

Ithaca College

Subject:

Anthropology

Description:

This course is a three-week fieldwork-based study of anthropology in Alaska focusing on Tlingit and Haida Cultures of southeastern Alaska. The anthropological perspective is a holistic orientation that entails not just examining one aspect of culture, but exploring the interconnections between many facets of cultural history and contemporary experience. This is accomplished in this course through grounding in Alaskan history and archaeology, along with an examination of lifeways, Native revitalization, multiculturalism, and the impacts of colonization, tourism, and development. Specifically, students learn through participant observation and service learning in contexts of Alaskan healing, sacred sites, Native villages, museums, and cultural centers. Comparative perspectives from Native peoples in British Columbia and Yukon Territory, Canada will also be included. Additional fees required. Prerequisites: ANTH10400 or ANTH10700. 3.0 credits.
