(1.5 Units) (No prerequisite. One-half lecture and three laboratory hours weekly, or variable schedule dependent on specific field trip focus.) Lectures about and field trips to specific locations within the Bay Area, California, out of state, and foreign countries, the cultural and geographical focus to be determined by each instructor. In the past, museums, archeological sites, and cultural settings and events have been the focus of the course. The Bay Area has numerous subcultures with events scheduled year round, along with museums and settings that lend themselves to field trips and observations. Subculture folk festivals, folk arts, and ethnomusicology are examples of places that would be suitable for a course of this nature. Archeological sites and prehistoric art along with Native American subcultures have been visited in prior years. (CSU)

How do people use supernatural or special powers to gain control over their own lives or the lives of others?
