New Course Descriptions:

 

GYA 399:  Discipline Matters: Thought and Action in Geography and Anthropology

In this course we explore some of the critical theoretical, methodological and social issues and questions that the fields of geography and anthropology have grappled with since their inceptions. We look at the historical development of the disciplines, raise questions about how and why they developed as they did, and ask whether the subfields, perspectives and methods of our fields are the best or only possible models. We also examine the role that our fields have played in various historical and contemporary social issues, and their potential contributions to these problems. This course substitutes for ANT 310 and GEO 310. Permission of instructor required. Cr: 3

 

 

GEO 450: International Development

A critical examination of theories and approaches to study development.  Insights from historical and contemporary perspectives help examine the role of states, international institutions and civil society in the development process.  Examples from countries across south, southeast Asia, Latin America and others used to demonstrate issues facing developing countries. Cr: 3

 

 

ANT 450: Indigenous Peoples & Tourism

This course examines the diverse roles of indigenous peoples in the global tourism industry from an anthropological perspective. Readings, lectures and videos illustrate how various indigenous peoples have been affected by tourism development, how some communities are engaging in this industry directly, and how indigenous peoples are themselves becoming tourists. Special attention will be paid to the growth of cultural and ecotourism in the Cree communities of northern Quebec as preparation for planned field courses to this region.  Prerequisite: Junior standing or permission of instructor. Cr: 3

                                               

                                               

 

Advising

 

Good advising is key to a timely degree and helps you choose courses that both fulfill your requirements and meet your interests.  Faculty advisors in the department have a sense of the frequency of course offerings and the best sequencing for student growth. Advisors are assigned once you declare the major of geography-anthropology.  You can choose a faculty member or we can assign an advisor for you.  Please contact Maggie 780-5321 to find out who your advisor is or to change advisors. 

 

As soon as the course schedule (tabloid) is available, make an appointment with your advisor. This is crucial!

 

Additional information will be given in the Schedule of Classes, which is scheduled for release on

Monday, October 30, 2006.
