ANTH 1151: Ethnographies of the Muslim Middle East
1.00 Credits
Brown University
This course is an introduction to ethnographic studies of the Muslim Middle East, with particular focus on: religion, language, modernity, gender, and expressive culture. This is not a comprehensive survey of Middle Eastern history or politics. Rather, it is a critical examination of the ways in which anthropologists have sought to capture Middle Eastern life, and the problems that have pervaded anthropological representation, both methodologically and theoretically. Thus, in this course you will learn, through the ways in which American anthropologists have sought to depict Middle Eastern "others," the processes by which we come to understand cultural difference, as well as the ways in which this encounter can shed light on our own selves and practices. A previous course in anthropology is suggested.

ANTH 1211: Cross Cultural Perspectives on Children
1.00 Credits
Brown University
Explores how the behavior and psychological functioning of children are shaped by culture and how different cultures tend to produce children with characteristic personalities, selves, thought patterns and behaviors. Every cultural community provides developmental pathways for children. These pathways are shaped by history and by the goals of parents, communities and children themselves. The course will focus on how human knowledge is transmitted through multiple cultural channels in both informal and formal contexts. This is a service-learning course in which students provide a needed service: Mentoring and tutoring Liberian young people in a literacy program. This will serve as a basis for conducting research on this refugee population and the final paper will be the recording of oral histories from teenagers. Enrollment limited to 30.
