Readings and discussions will include historical context and issues of representation and display, indigenous perspectives on museum representation, and ethics of museum stewardship. Students will contribute to the curation of a new Peabody Museum exhibition of these historical dioramas from a contemporary anthropological perspective.

ANTHRO 1600: The Ethnographic Encounter: An Introduction to Social Anthropology
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
This course is a critical introduction to the premises, vocabulary, and methods of the anthropological dialogue with people of other cultures. Lectures and discussions revolve around several themes central to the discipline, such as "cultural relativism," "social structure," "interpretation," "gender," "the invention of tradition," and "reflexivity." At the same time, we will seek some fair-minded insights into the collective lives of people who work, play, fight, speak, eat and pray in ways different from our own. In the end, we will see ourselves more clearly and fairly as well.
