ANTHRO 312: Time Travel: Pasts, Places, and Possibilities

Is the past dead or alive? Where do we find it? What possibilities emerge when we encounter it? This course explores how people think and live with history in the present, how different places can harbor different times, and how movement between them can create the effect of time travel. By combining anthropological and historical approaches to time and temporality, students will learn how to build temporally capacious perspectives that transcend and unsettle commonplace divisions such as medieval-modern, colonial-postcolonial, and imperial-national.nPre-requisite by instructor consent.

ANTHRO 313A: Fine Observation: Ways of Seeing, Forms of Fieldwork

Explores possibilities for reimagining ethnography as a genre of writing and mode of knowledge production through delving into documentary and representational practices in other fields, including literature, jounalism, art history, graphic novels, documentary photography, etc. Challenges any habituated acceptance of the fiction/nonfiction opposition while insisting on the necessity of evidence in anthropology.nnPrerequisite: consent of instructor.
Terms: Spr | Units: 5
Instructors: Malkki, L. (PI)

ANTHRO 316: The Archaeology of the Contemporary Past

Archaeology is not limited to the study of the remote past. What happened a fifty years ago or even this morning can be subjected to archaeological scrutiny as well. In this course, we will see what the discipline has to say about the Second World War, refugees, climate change or music festivals through a diversity of global examples. We will also learn how to use archaeology to explore and understand our everyday world -our house, the town we live in, and the garbage we produce. Political and ethical issues are very relevant in the archaeology of the contemporary past: we will tackle them through readings, debates and the discussion of case studies.nnPrerequisite: consent of instructor.
Terms: Spr | Units: 5

ANTHRO 320A: Race, Ethnicity, and Language: Racial, Ethnic, and Linguistic Formations (CSRE 389A, EDUC 389A, LINGUIST 253)

Language, as a cultural resource for shaping our identities, is central to the concepts of race and ethnicity. This seminar explores the linguistic construction of race and ethnicity across a wide variety of contexts and communities. We begin with an examination of the concepts of race and ethnicity and what it means to be "doing race," both as scholarship and as part of our everyday lives. Throughout the course, we will take a comparative perspective and highlight how different racial/ethnic formations (Asian, Black, Latino, Native American, White, etc.) participate in similar, yet different, ways of drawing racial and ethnic distinctions. The seminar will draw heavily on scholarship in (linguistic) anthropology, sociolinguistics and education. We will explore how we talk and don't talk about race, how we both position ourselves and are positioned by others, how the way we talk can have real consequences on the trajectory of our lives, and how, despite this, we all participate in maintaining racial and ethnic hierarchies and inequality more generally, particularly in schools.
Terms: Win | Units: 3-5
Instructors: Rosa, J. (PI)

ANTHRO 322: From Biopolitics to Necropolitics and Beyond

Prerequisite: consent of instructor.
Terms: Win | Units: 5
Instructors: Kohrman, M. (PI)

Terms: Aut | Units: 5
Instructors: Ferguson, J. (PI)

Prerequisite: consent of instructor.
