Anthro 3326: Modern Third World
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
Most understandings of the Third World are embedded in a discourse that promotes development and/or tries to explain why the Third World is so poor. This seminar aims to circumvent this view. After an introduction to development and development theory, the course explores how landscapes and livelihoods interact with modernization, globalization, and the agrarian transition. Case study examples and topics to be discussed include household livelihoods, income strategies, informal housing, off-farm labor, cultural landscapes, and environmental transformations.

Anthro 3351: The Ancient Maya: Archaeology and History
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
This course focuses on the ancient Maya civilization because there are many exciting new breakthroughs in the study of the Maya. The Olmec civilization and the civilization of Teotihuacan in the Valley of Mexico are considered as they related to the rise and development of the Maya civilization. The ancient Maya were the only Pre-Columbian civilization to leave us a written record that we can use to understand their politics, religion, and history. This course is about Maya ancient history and Maya glyphic texts, combined with the images of Maya life from their many forms of art. The combination of glyphic texts, art, and archaeology now can provide a uniquely detailed reconstruction of ancient history in a New World civilization.

Anthro 3383: Cognition and Culture
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
This course examines the influence of evolved cognitive dispositions (the way natural selection engineered the human mind) on the transmission of cultural knowledge. Dispositions present from early childhood make certain kinds of cultural knowledge particularly easy to acquire, and therefore, culturally stable. We also consider the evidence for differences in cognitive processes triggered by different social environments. Emphasis is on empirical studies and experimental methods in the study of cultural similarity and differences. Prerequisite: Psych 100B, Anthro 160B or permission of instructor.

Anthro 3433: Conflict and Post-Conflict Societies in Africa
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
During the political elections in Kenya in 2007, massive civil unrest and violence erupted. It lasted for several months and was largely framed in terms of ethnic groups and borders. Indeed, many conflicts around the continent of Africa are regularly spoken of in terms of ethnicity and sometimes religion. While these issues are obviously part of contemporary conflicts, these situations are clearly more complex. It is the goal of this course to look at and unpack contemporary and recent conflicts around the continent to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the processes leading to large-scale conflict, to crisis management in these circumstances, and to the small- and large-scale processes of peace-building and community rebuilding efforts. In this course, we look at case studies around the continent (including Angola, Rwanda, Liberia, Mozambique, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Eritrea, South Africa, and Sudan among others), using anthropological and social scientific tools of analysis.

Anthro 3475: Fantastic Archaeology
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
American popular culture is saturated with fictionalized and pseudoscientific accounts of archaeological discoveries and interpretations. Even respected newspapers and journals favor coverage of finds touted as "the earliest" of their kind, along with other studies bordering on the sensational. How can students of the past distinguish between fraud, fantasy, hype, and valid archaeological research? What potential merit do films, TV-oriented documentaries, and historical fiction offer? This course looks at the popular culture of archaeology, providing tools for critical evaluation as well as lifetime enjoyment of the field as it is frequently sold to both the informed and the unwary public.
