ANTH 1305: Medical Humanities: Critical Perspectives on Illness, Healing, and Culture
1.00 Credits
Brown University
Medicine is arguably the most humanistic of the hard sciences, one that strives to ensure the basic dignity of individuals. In our increasingly globalized world, access to medical care is recognized as a fundamental human right. However, there continues to be considerable debate over the "best" ways to provide medical services to economically and culturally diverse communities across the globe, given the complex ways that people prioritize and perpetuate their health. Drawing on a range of disciplines, this seminar explores the multifaceted relationships between biomedicine and cultural understandings of illness, both in the US and worldwide. Instructor permission required. Enrollment limited to 25 juniors and seniors.

ANTH 1322: Human Rights, Social Justice, and Humanitarian Intervention: The Anthropology of Global Aid
1.00 Credits
Brown University
From child soldiers to starving refugees, Americans are inundated with media images of violent suffering in the developing world. Our politicians frequently present international humanitarian intervention as an unequivocal good, without examining the actual outcomes of aid initiatives. This course uses tools from anthropology to explore the motivations for global aid, along with the concrete--and often unexpected--effects it produces on the ground. Foregrounding an ethnographic approach, we seek to understand the enduring influence of the concept of "rights," the ways that local populations both welcome and resent humanitarian work, and the successes and failures of international charitable organizations. First-year students require an instructor override to register.

ANTH 1323: The Culture and Politics of Colonial Cities: Migration, Markets and the Diaspora
2.00 Credits
Brown University
Two colonial powers (British Empire and Portuguese) form the basis for this comparative approach to unravel and comprehend how the colonial policies differed in the two regions. Colonial cities have a special mystique, and studying them in the present unravels socio-historical and political connections to make the present more meaningful. For the post-colonialism, we address migration and the Diaspora, the participation of the groups under analysis in transnational economy and in local and global markets. In focusing on the Diaspora, we will seek to tie the history and cultural development to the wider issue of Diaspora and the displacement of people, the search for opportunities, migration and the global markets.
