This course explores human life in South Asia (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka) through ethnographic and culture-historical accounts by anthropologists and others. Attending to both similarities and differences among South Asian peoples, the course offers breadth through a survey of general topics (family, religion, caste, gender, colonialism, politics, etc.) as it also scrutinizes in depth a specific topic of contemporary concern, such as untouchability, ethnic strife, religious nationalism, postcolonialism , the South Asian diaspora, or globalization.

This course offers a critical examination of recent and well-received ethnographies on the cultures and regional histories of Latin America (Guatemala, Mexico, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, and Chile) with the hope that by taking a multi-framed approach to reading and discussing these contributions, we may better understand both the similarities and differences Latin America has with other world areas. Topics to be discussed include tourism, development, indigenous activism, democracy, transnationalism, violence, performance, health, citizenship, and social movements.

A study of the present-day environmental challenges in the southern Appalachians in the cross-cultural, cross-temporal perspective of human ecology. Examines how Native American and modern mountain cultures have related to their environment in the context of human ecology theory and practice in anthropology.

3.00 Credits
This course provides a survey of theoretical frameworks in biological anthropology, beginning with an examination of the history and development of evolutionary theory, the modern synthesis, and the "New Physical Anthropology." Feminist critiques, objections to the adaptationist program, and the development of biocultural approaches to human biology will be examined and applied to the study of patterns and processes in human evolution. Issues to be addressed in this course include the evolution of primate life histories, the origin of modern human biological variation, human reproduction, and evolutionary medicine. Prerequisite: ENG 2001 or its equivalent. (WRITING)
