ANTHRO 345W: Indigeneity

In recent decades, the emergence and proliferation of transnational Indigenous movements have foregrounded the socio-cultural survival and legal-political resurgence of Indigenous peoples in contemporary global society. Many Western academic disciplines and fields, including anthropology, understand Indigeneity as a historical positioning situated within particular regimes of governance under the sovereignty of the modern state in the liberal international order. Scholars debate the limits and possibilities of Indigenous resistance to decolonize entrenched power structures and dynamics of colonial rule that continue into the present. This graduate seminar introduces students to current interdisciplinary scholarship on Indigenous peoples, with a focus on anthropological research and engagement. Students will examine the evolution of anthropological theory and method for academic knowledge production on the situation of colonized peoples across contexts, scales, and processes.

This graduate seminar introduces students to current interdisciplinary scholarship on Indigenous peoples, with a focus on anthropological research and engagement. Students will examine the evolution of anthropological theory and method for academic knowledge production on the situation of colonized peoples across contexts, scales, and processes. Students will also consider enduring and contentious questions on whether and how anthropologists should intervene in and shape native formations, particularly Indigenous communities with collective status and rights to territory, autonomy, and self-determination. The course will review case studies from different world regions.

ANTHRO 365A: Emancipation: Theories and Experiences

Concepts of emancipation have been treated in a wide variety of historical, political, regional and social perspectives. In the US, emancipation and post emancipation societies are primarily understood around histories of enslavement. In the class, while taking inspiration and also covering work on enslavement and emancipation, we will endeavor to discuss theories, ideas and experiences that have been understood as potentially emancipatory from a globally and historically wide-ranging set of ideas. Issues of race, caste, class and gender are axiomatic themes within the class.Emancipation has frequently been understood as an emancipation from oppression and an impetus towards a form of freedom or new order. While theoretically this is formally understood and discussed, often with historical examples that use experiences to illustrate failures or successes, in this class we will try to understand the texture of practices as the primary means by which ideas about emancipation circulate, i more »

While theoretically this is formally understood and discussed, often with historical examples that use experiences to illustrate failures or successes, in this class we will try to understand the texture of practices as the primary means by which ideas about emancipation circulate, imagined, are discussed, are disappointed and so on. We will try and see what an anthropological and historically textured discussion can bring to theoretical discussions of emancipation. We will examine theoretical, historical, sociological and anthropological writings on emancipation, freedom, enslavement and servitude, political mobilization and revolution. Fundamentally this course tries to get students to think globally about multiple and different systems of persisting and enduring oppression and inequality through an emphasis on political thought, political imaginations and concrete political organizations and movements.

ANTHRO 367: The Anthropology of Science: Global Politics and Laboratory Life

Science and technology are important cultural products that often dramatically reorganize various aspects of human life. In this course we will explore how recent innovations in the life sciences and biomedicine may reconfigure crucial elements of social institutions, lend new structures to identity politics, and often change the way we interact with and conceive of nature. We will examine these issues in various global settings to explore how everyday politics shape politics of life in different locales.
