ANTHRO 1850: Ethnography as Practice and Genre
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
For sociocultural anthropologists, ethnography is both a way of studying human communities and a way of writing about them. Ethnographic fieldwork raises issues of participation, power, and perspective; cultural relativism; the nature of evidence; and the ethics of engagement. Writing ethnography highlights other issues, such as the politics of representing "others." This course explores these and related issues through close reading and intensive discussion of selected texts.

ANTHRO 1886: Sense and Sensibility: William and Henry James in Anthropological Perspective
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
This is the centenary year of William James' death (d. 1910), and it is fitting that we should look back on the work of this great Harvard psychologist and philosopher and his many contributions to American thought. A retrospective on some of the ideas and work of his brother, the great novelist Henry James, is included. To capture what William James was after we use the term "sense," in both the empirical and the value-laden meanings for experience. For Henry James, we will speak of "sensibility." We will attempt to understand their varied projects in their own as well as their contemporaries' terms but also offer a modern anthropological interpretation and appreciation of them. Weekly readings will be supplemented with occasional field trips to relevant sites of interest.

ANTHRO 1935: Secularism in Question: Seminar
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
Secularism, once understood as a normative political arrangement that promoted social peace and multiple religiosities, has recently been critiqued for circumscribing or denying people's abilities to live according to their religious understandings. However, such arguments have also stimulated strident responses that re-instantiate secular values and the enlightenment critique of religion as divisive and irrational. This course will examine recent controversies in France, India, the US and Turkey that have put secularism into question.
