ANT 102 - ARCHAELOGY: MYSTERIES AND CONTROVERSIES
College of Arts & Sciences
Credit(s): 3
Scientific archaeology has a problem: fringe ideas about mysteries of the past attract more interest than scholarly accounts of these same mysteries. In discussing the ‘mysterious’ side of archaeology, this course asks why consideration of the past invites some of the most bizarre speculations about human life. Why do fringe theories about lost civilizations, intergalactic interactions, and mysterious technologies gain more popularity than mainstream theories? Why should serious archaeologists and students pay any attention to such ‘wacko’ ideas? To answer these questions, this course attends to two kinds of controversies: fantastic claims in the past (such as the Myth of the Moundbuilders and the Shroud of Turin) and debates in the present (such as the cultural affiliation of Kennewick Man and uses of archaeology to promote discrimination).

ANT 326 - CONTEMPORARY AFRICAN LIVES
College of Arts & Sciences
Credit(s): 3
What do you think when you hear AFRICA? This course goes beyond the words, images and stereotypes that we typically learn from western news reports, popular media and mainstream descriptions of issues on the continent. Our goal will be to examine, and challenge, many of the popular portrayals of Africa, and thus build a more realistic and grounded understanding of the region. We will consider issues of geography, social organization and family life, health and food security, economy and ecology, and politics and identity. But our examination will draw from African sources and people living on the continent, as well as media built on long term engagement with the multitude of African nations. We will investigate how social, economic and global systems come together to produce the diversity of lives across the vast region. We will also discover positive, hopeful and sustainable aspects of African life with attention to local people s solutions and efforts to build the lives they want. Ultimately, we will come away with both better understanding of the complex reality of ‘Africa’, and with analytical tools for examining other complex, but often stereotyped, issues in society more broadly.
