ANTHR 6015 - Teaching Anthropology, Teaching Culture

(EC-SAP)

Fall. 2 credits. Letter grades only.

Permission of instructor required. Enrollment limited to: graduate students.

M. Fiskesjö.

This course is a systematic engagement with issues in teaching anthropology to undergraduate students. Where there is broad agreement in other social sciences about what should be taught in undergraduate courses, no such common understanding exists in the field of anthropology. This course will explore the history of the teaching of anthropology, pedagogical issues unique to anthropology, and the pragmatics of teaching anthropology, especially the problems of teaching across cultures.
