  • ANTH 20111: Anthropology of Human Sexuality

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    Sexuality is a complex and multi-faceted suite of biological and cultural/behavioral components. It is an important part of the human existence, especially in modern day North American society. This course seeks to examine human sexuality in an anthropological context. We will review sexuality in an evolutionary perspective via a comparison of nonhuman primate sexual behavior and the theoretical constructs surrounding adaptive explanations for human sexuality. The physiology of sex and the development of the reproductive tract will also be covered. The remainder of the course will consist of the evaluation of data sets regarding aspects of human sexual practice, sexual preference, mate choice, gendered sexuality, and related issues of human sexuality.

  • ANTH 20305: Political Anthropology

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    This course explores how anthropologists approach the study of political phenomena. What exactly constitutes "the political" will be one of our initial concerns. First, we will review the intellectual history of political anthropology in order to contextualize current paradigms. Second, we will read key texts that have influenced how anthropologists think about the state, nation, and political struggles. Finally, we will explore how anthropological analyses can help us reframe contemporary political debates by scrutinizing the assumptions that political actors make about socio-political orders. Throughout the course, we will read various ethnographies that illustrate current trends and future possibilities in the field of political anthropology.

  • ANTH 20316: The Irish in Us: Comparative Perspectives on Being Irish and Irish-American

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    This class provides an educational and entertaining reflection on the deep historical and cultural intertwining of America and Ireland, and the extent to which our world is shaped by Irish people, culture and heritage. Drawing upon the skills of three Notre Dame professors, each of which has different interests, in this class we explore comparative perspectives of the cultural, economic, and political context of being Irish and Irish-American. In this class we seek to provide new perspectives on the interconnections between Ireland and America, in the past, present and future. Based on lectures and presentations, we explore some fundamental historical questions, such as how were the Irish Famine, emigration, and economic developments of the 18-20th centuries interconnected, and how did the Irish Diaspora shape the historical and cultural trajectory of America. Similarly, we explore what it is to be Irish and Irish-American, be it through family history, or growing up watching Notre Dame football. What are the interconnections between regional Irish identities, language, and history? Finally we explore how American, let alone global, culture is being actively shaped by Irish culture (such as literature, theater, film, music), and the extent to which this is a dynamic process. Looking at it from a different perspective, how has the reintroduction of such an idealized form of Irishness to Ireland, impacted the country? Drawing upon literature, history, archaeology and folklore, this class will illustrate the different ways we can explore and conceive of the past and present world of Ireland and Irish-America. Seeking answers to these questions offers students a fascinating opportunity to learn more about Ireland, America, and the connections between these cultures and peoples.

  • ANTH 20325: Business, Economics and Culture

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    Economic, political and cultural interactions between geographically distant groups have been intensifying over the past century and the 21st century is being seen as the Global century. In this rapidly changing world, it is becoming increasingly important to understand the role of cultural (religious, ethnic and political/socio-economic) factors in determining and shaping interactions. In this course, we will use an ethnographic-focused approach to explore the impact of cultural variations on many issues that have arisen or will potentially arise in the course of contemporary global economic interactions. These include the relationships between reciprocity, redistribution and market behaviors; cultural differences in business strategies; relationship building and formation of partnerships; marketing techniques; consumer behavior; and political and environmental situations. We will also look at the impact of business interaction on regional and local economies in Asia (India), Africa (Kenya and the Sudan) and Latin America (Mexico and Guatemala). Course work will include discussions based on readings, documentaries, an individual ethnographic project and report, and a final paper on the application of cultural factors for global interactions.
