Course Description
This course introduces students to the ethnography of South Asia and the critical reading of key ethnographic texts on contemporary topics in the region. This includes exploring long-established areas of study such as caste, kinship, and the "village republic" through a contemporary lens, as well as a consideration of more topical concerns, such as the impact of globalization and South Asians in the diaspora.

Course Description
In this course students read a full ethnography such as BELONGING IN TWO BERLINS by John Borneman. Students then do an ethnographically grounded research project in contemporary Berlin. Finally, the research is developed into a strong data driven argument. Attention is then paid to anthropological research methods, ethnographic writing as a scholarly genre, and to the city as a lively, deeply historical place.

Anthropology Abroad
Develop a more holistic understanding of another culture by participating in the everyday practices that define it. See how people in other societies live and make meaning in our increasingly global world. See how people in other cultures translate local history and shape their current world. Take your anthropology studies abroad and you can study the socio-economic impact of tourism on indigenous communities in Chile, hone your ethnographic skills in remote regions of the Solomon Islands, and discover the symbolic meanings of artifacts held in museum collections around the world.
