ANTH 542 01 (10258) /ANTH342 T 1.30-3.20 Fall 2009 The course focuses on historical and contemporary movements of people, goods, cultural meanings, and imaginaries that have connected an "Asian" region. It builds on the scholarship of Fernand Braudel, K._N. Chaudhuri, and Takeshi Hamashita and uses an ocean-based perspective to highlight the interconnected, multi-ethnic commercial nodes. It captures the energies of agents of trading empires, religious traditions, colonial encounters, and cultural fusion as transregional institutions and local societies intersected. The contemporary global perspective highlights the time-space compression of volatile finance flows that connect East Asia and the Indian Ocean to the Middle East and Africa, and examines the cultures of capital and market in the neoliberal and post-socialist world.

ANTH 557 01 (10259) /ANTH357 T 1.30-3.20 Fall 2009 Drawing on a wide and interdisciplinary range of texts, both classic and more recent, this course examines the theoretical debates of the body as a subject of anthropological, historical, psychological, medical, and literary inquiry. We explore specific themes, for example, the persistence of the mind/body dualism; experiences of embodiment/alienation; phenomenology of the body; Foucauldian notions of bio-politics, bio-power, and the ethic of the self; the medicalized body; and the gendered body, among other salient themes.

ANTH 561 01 (10260) /F&ES80061 Th 12.00-2.50 Fall 2009 This seminar explores topics in the anthropology of the global economy that are relevant to development and conservation policy and practice. Anthropologists are often assumed to focus on micro- or local-level research, and thus to have limited usefulness in the contemporary, global world of development and conservation policy. In fact, however, they have been examining global topics since at least the 1980s, and very little current anthropological research is limited to the village level. More importantly, the anthropological perspective on the global economy is unique and important.

ANTH 597 01 (10261) /F&ES839/F&ES83056 T 10.30-1.20 Fall 2009 This course provides a fundamental understanding of the social aspects involved in implementing sustainable development and conservation projects. Social science has two things to contribute to the practice of development and conservation. First, it provides ways of thinking about, researching, and working with social groupings-including rural households and communities, but also development and conservation institutions, states, and NGOs. Second, social science tackles the analysis of the knowledge systems that implicitly shape development and conservation policy and impinge on practice. The goal of the course is to stimulate students to apply informed and critical thinking to whatever roles they play in sustainable development and conservation, in order to move toward more environmentally and socially sustainable projects and policies. A prerequisite for F&ES 80153a and F&ES 80157a. Three hours lecture/seminar.

ANTH 632 01 (10263) /ANTH432 Th 1.30-3.20 Fall 2009 This course centers on aspects of language difference and inequality as often neglected but as crucial shapers of the political dynamics and social change in plural societies. The first part of the course involves broad comparative and theoretical approaches to the politics of sociolinguistic difference. The second part is devoted to case studies which foreground specific issues: "problems" of substandard languages, bilingual identities, globalization and language shift, language death, and others.

ANTH 651 01 (10264) /ANTH451/WGSS651 W 9.25-11.15 Fall 2009 This interdisciplinary seminar is designed to explore how the intersections of race, class, gender, and other axes of "difference" (age, sexual orientation, disability status, nation, religion) affect women's health, primarily in the contemporary United States. Recent feminist approaches to intersectionality and multiplicity of oppressions theory are introduced. In addition, the course demonstrates how anthropologists studying women's health issues have contributed to social and feminist theory at the intersections of race/class/gender.
