COURSES TAUGHT RELATED TO ENVIRONMENTAL, ETHNIC, AND INTERNATIONAL STUDIES

 Mesoamerican Community Studies *
 Latin American Community Cultures*
These two courses examine the advantages and limitations of the community study approach to data gathering and use case studies to examine issues of culture change and adaptation under the impact of modernizing influences.

 Anthropology of Rural Latin America*
This course focuses on peasant cultures and examines such topics as cultural diversity, the importance of kinship, aspects of world view, folk religion, folk beliefs about illness, race and ethnicity, and studies of culture change.

 Traditional Cultures and Modern Change
This course is worldwide in coverage. It is designed to give students some understanding of the structure of tribal cultures, to examine the factors and processes of culture change among tribal peoples, and to discuss strategies and philosophies of development and their impact on tribal cultures.

 International Development: Anthropological Perspectives*
This course is intended to familiarize the student with anthropological, economic and political science literature on third world development, examine the roles anthropologists can play in international development, examine the utility of anthropological concepts, methods, and knowledge in solving problems that confront developing nations, and improve the student's ability to think critically.

 The Anthropology of Development (Graduate seminar)
This course examines the processes of international development, as well as the theories and methods associated with it, from a people-and-culture viewpoint. Such themes as resource management, top-down and bottom-up development, and conservation versus development are examined in terms of impact and consequences for people in communities.

 Cultural Dynamics*
This course critically examines theories of culture change (and stability) in relation to case studies of change. Adaptive strategies and socionatural systems analysis are the perspectives favored.

 Cultural Ecology (Graduate Seminar)
This course critically examines issues of ecological adaptation and questions of sustainability of different forms of resource management. The emphasis is on cultural rather than biological adaptation. Consideration is given to the influence of perceptions of the nature of the human culture-natural world relationships in both small-scale traditional societies and complex modern societies.
