Seminar focusing on current issues in anthropology. Purpose is to provide a format in which advanced undergraduates can integrate knowledge acquired in previous anthropological course work and evaluate the contribution of the different anthropological subdisciplines to understanding contemporary problems. Emphasis placed on oral and written communication. This course is a Graduation Composition and Communication Requirement (GCCR) course in certain programs, and hence is not likely to be eligible for automatic transfer credit to UK.

This course explores the relationship between society, culture, and human biology. Its thematic focus will be how cultural ideologies and social organization play out with respect to the biology of human groups, both archaeological and contemporary populations. We will pay special attention to issues of class, gender and ethnicity and focus on demographic and health-related issues. Current issues in biological anthropology, including critical analysis of evolutionary/ adaptation theory and the concept of "race" in contemporary human populations will also be addressed.

This course aims to give graduate students a firm grounding in the development of anthropological thought from its roots in Enlightenment social philosophy and 19th century evolutionism to the emergence of poststructuralist theory in the late 20th century. Upon completion of this course students should be thoroughly familiar with the major theoretical schools and debates in the history of anthropology and the broader social discourses that shaped them.

An examination of a subset of evaluation methods, topics, and problems. An introductory course in the area with minimal emphasis on quantitative methods. The course is designed to: provide a perspective from which evaluation studies may be viewed; and, to provide experiences for those who will learn from or conduct evaluations.
