ANTH 310: Globalization and Development:Anthropological Perspectives
3.00 Credits
William Paterson University of New Jersey
The last three decades have seen growing tensions between two powerful constructs that have framed knowledge of the unevenness of our world: development and globalization, the meanings of which are still debated. This course will focus on four major themes that recur in the debates surrounding globalization and development: poverty and inequality, individual states and transnational institutions, social and cultural movements on globalization's impacts, global rights regime, and global health and environment. The broad approach taken in this course will be "anthropological politicaleconomy,"which means that attention will be paid to the ways in which three axes of social life-the culturalideological (meaning producing actions), the economic (commodity production and exchange), and the political (power struggles) come together to produce globalization and development as social phenomena. The course will have a large focus on the continent of Asia, but will also draw upon other regions of the world, including Euro- America, that shape the intensity, direction, and form of globalization. Prerequisite: ANTH 130 or HIST 102 or POL 110 or SOC 101 or SOC 102

ANTH 314: Old World Prehistory
3.00 Credits

The course provides an account of prehistoric life and the roots of modern societies and empires. It offers to the student an understanding of the evolution of humans and the cultures they established, from the first traces of humanity to the creation of early literate societies. The major topics covered include the evolution of tool making, the development of religion, the origins of language, the importance of agriculture, the beginning of warfare, and the creation of hierarchical societies and hereditary ranking.
