ANTH 30390: European Cultures and Societies
3.00 Credits
University of Notre Dame
This course offers an ethnographically grounded understanding of contemporary European cultures and societies. We start by presenting a brief history of the idea of Europe. Then, we define its geographical focus: where are the boundaries of Europe? Are Israel and Turkey part of Europe? Who gets to decide? Are there European Muslims? We will then read recent works focusing on selected regions and on diverse urban populations. We will explore and discuss socio-cultural facets of European everyday life; trends and challenges in technology, the environment, popular culture, demography, and politics; and the diversity of urban/rural, north/south, and more generally intra-European ways of life. The course will be of interest to students of contemporary global issues, and in particular to students who intend to spend a semester in Europe; are back from the field; or intend to write a related senior thesis.

ANTH 30550: Buried Cities and Lost Worlds: Archaeology of Cultural Collapse
3.00 Credits
University of Notre Dame
How and why do complex societies collapse? Is collapse a "natural" phase in the life of a society and, thus, inevitable? Is it the result of some social malaise and, thus, can it be (or could it have been) avoided? The class explores some of the important political, economic, and environmental dimensions of the emergence and eventual collapse of complex societies. Combining archaeological case studies (the Classic Maya of Mesoamerica, Pueblo cultures of the American Southwest, Bronze Age city states of Mesopotamia, and Neolithic agricultural towns of the Near East) with anthropological theory of the emergence of social differentiation, and the mechanisms of societal collapse, this class explores contemporary debates of processes by which, and reasons for, the emergence and disappearance of complex societies in the past. While the geographical focus will be worldwide, the class considers topical issues that illustrate a range of methodological and theoretical approaches to understanding social organizations and cultural collapse.

ANTH 30592: Prehistory of the American Southwest
3.00 Credits

This course introduces students to the diversity of cultures living in the American Southwest from the earliest Paleoindians (11,500 years ago) to European contact, the establishment of Spanish Missions, and the Pueblo Revolt of 1680-1692. Most of the course is devoted to learning about the complex cultural developments in the Mimbres Valley, Chaco Canyon, Mesa Verde, the Rio Grande, and the Phoenix Basin. Class work and discussions will focus on important issues such as the adoption of agriculture, the development of villages, the transformation of ideological beliefs and political organization, the importance of migration, and the impact of warfare using information on environmental relationships, technology, and other aspects of material culture. Students will also learn about descendant populations living in the Southwest today including the Pueblo peoples (e.g., Hopi, Santa Clara, Acoma) and Tohono O'odham.
