I have recently taught a seminars on the Origins and Evolution of Language and Spoken Tzeltal Maya.. I am currently developing a new course on Indigenous Languages and Peoples of Latin America to be taught as part of the new major in Latin American and Caribbean Studies at UGA. Spoken Tzeltal Maya: A Self-paced Program-Tzeltal, along with Tzotzil, is one of the two major Maya languages spoken in Highland Chiapas. Until recently, pedagogical materials on the language were few and or poor quality. Stuart Robinson's translation of Joshua Smith's excellent Manual of Spoken Tzeltal goes a long way toward correcting this situation. In 2003, I'll be working with several Tzeltal male and female speakers form the municiaplity of Teneuapa to produce an interactive CD that will include a series of graded lesson sessions using the Smith manual as a guide. The lessons will eventually be posted on this website. Elois Ann Berlin My teaching has complemented my medical and anthropological interests. In addition to appointments in departments of anthropology (Columbia University, Michigan State University, and UGA), I have worked in medical education in the Department of Family and Community Medicine of the Stanford University School of Medicine. At Stanford I trained medical students and Family Practice Residents in health care delivery to patients in a multicultural health care setting. All of my teaching and research are grounded in a biocultural theoretical framework and incorporate an environmental and ecological perspective that I interpret to include the psycho-socio-cultural environment, as well as the biophysical and ecological context.

Extractions: Stanley Chernicoff, Department of Earth and Space Sciences Motivation for Project In addition to pedagogical concerns, consistency between academic quarters is a problem with the course. Archy 205 is taught by graduate student instructors 3 out of 4 quarters. Student instructors struggle to reinvent the course to fit their own teaching style and learning objectives. Unfortunately no explicit curriculum has been developed for the course, and many activities are simply passed down by word of mouth (e.g. Betsy did this great exercise when she taught the course last timeyou should try it!). The few artifact labs, handouts and worksheets that reside on the Anthropology department server are outdated and in need of improvement. While learning objectives are embedded in many of these activities, they are not always apparent to the TAs or undergraduates. We believe Archy 205 should be re-designed to emphasize critical thinking, problem-solving, writing, and communication skills. More conceptual questions should be discussed in labs, providing an opportunity for students to think like an archaeologist. In addition, these should be expanded beyond object-based activities to include discussions and exercises highlighting contemporary ethical and legal issues in archaeology. Although there is wide spread support among archaeology graduate students and faculty to make these kinds of changes, resources and time have always been impediments.

The focus within anthropological linguistics is on language analysis, language preservation and retention. Opportunities exist for fieldwork with speakers of Native American languages. The Department of Anthropology offers one Native American graduate assistantship. Contact the Anthropology Department for more information on this assistantship. Graduate studies in the Division of Biological Sciences are organized into two programs, Biochemistry/Microbiology and Organismal Biology and Ecology. These programs offer M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in a variety of emphases. Faculty in the division also advise M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in the Wildlife Biology graduate program, a cooperative effort among the division, the School of Forestry, and the Montana cooperative Wildlife Research Unit. The Biochemistry/Microbiology program offers opportunities for advanced study and research for students interested in biomedical sciences and related areas of biology, with emphases in biochemistry, molecular biology and microbiology. New and developing emphases include biological/molecular structure-function and microbial ecology. The Organismal Biology and Ecology program provides research and study opportunities in a variety of areas, with particular emphases in avian biology, evolutionary and conservation genetics, plant ecology, freshwater ecology, and other specialties.

World Religions Lesson Plans Please note that with regard to lesson plans dealing with anthropology, archaeology, indigenous people, ancient civilizations, history, etc, there may be some cross-over and blurring of lines between the topics. For example, a lesson plan dealing with archaeology is automatically dealing with an anthropological subject. A lesson plan dealing with indigenous people is also automatically dealing with anthropology and any of them may, or may not, be dealing with history or ancient civilizations. While every attempt will be made to keep the topic lines as 'clean' as possible, be aware this may not always be possible. Appropriate grade or age levels are included with the lesson plans. The number of lesson plans available online for this topic is enormous. This site can not and does not index all lesson resources relating to anthropology. That would be impossible, as sites appear and disappear with astonishing rapidity and the number of sub-disciplines is also enormous. The following provides some idea of what is available and will hopefully be a good starting point. You will also find related materials under other topic headings such as "archaeology," "aboriginal peoples," etc.

Extractions: Overview The Department of Anthropology has four principle missions: teaching, research, service and the promotion of cross-cultural and international understanding. There are three distinct foci in the teaching program: (1) For undergraduate majors, a range of topical and cross-cultural courses exists for students within the liberal arts curriculum. (2) Anthropology offers professional preparation for students seeking a masters degree in anthropology. (3) The program provides a breadth of exposure in various facets of anthropology for students concentrating in other fields within the university. Research is inextricably linked with the teaching process. New information, ideas, and approaches resulting from active research programs assist in making the classroom a vibrant and dynamic setting. Faculty-sponsored research activities provide undergraduate and graduate students with invaluable pre-professional experience. Professional development of faculty through research is essential in meeting the challenges of being first-rate scholars. Within Iowa State University's motto "Science with Practice," the practical applications of anthropological research at ISU can be found in such things as the cultural research management work of archaeologists and assistance in culturally appropriate application of social change techniques in various parts of the world.

Extractions: AN ACTIVE AND COLLABORATIVE LEARNING GRANT PROPOSAL APPLICANTS: LISA J. LeCOUNT AND JOHN H. BLITZ, ASSISTANT PROFESSORS OF ANTHROPOLOGY We propose to enhance ANT 100 (Introduction to Anthropology) and ANT 103 (Great Discoveries in Archaeology) courses through the addition of fossil bone casts to teach human evolution. These casts will be used to create new discussion section activities in which undergraduate students measure human physical attributes that changed through time. The benefits of these enhancements are three-fold. First, by introducing new hands-on activities in small groups, we will create active learning environments in sections; presently, students learn these concepts via lecture and texts. Second, we will involve Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs) in the learning continuum since they will learn these concepts by teaching undergraduates. Third, we will strengthen the teaching of human evolution, a topic that is often neglected or miss-represented in secondary education in Alabama. CURRENT COURSES A small collection of fossil casts and human bone to teach human evolution already exists for use in lectures; however, this collection is too small to serve the needs of active learning in discussion sections. Over the years, the Department of Anthropology has steadily built a collection of resin and plaster casts of early human species, such as

Extractions: Temple University Revised Version - 7/4/01 Introduction This paper critically discusses the professionalization of the field of visual anthropology in the United States during the 1960s and 1970s. I explore the development of an infrastructure that enabled visual anthropology to become recognized as a legitimate sub-field within cultural anthropology [1]. Here is an illustration of my point: In the early 1970s when the Society for the Anthropology of Visual Communication became a sub-section of the American Anthropological Association and regularly participated in the construction of the annual program, I would argue that the field of visual anthropology became officially accepted as a credible scholarly undertaking. This paper deals with seven elements of the infrastructure: organizations, training, publication outlets, archives and film distribution and festivals, seminars, and conferences. By concentrating on institutional efforts to professionalize, I ignore the individual efforts of those who advanced the field by their filmmaking, research and teaching but who did not attach themselves or their work to any ongoing institutional framework [3]. While there has been an interest in the production of pictorial images and the study of visual manifestations of culture since the beginning of anthropology in the United States, it is the work of Margaret Mead that forms the immediate precedent. Her research with Gregory Bateson in Bali provided strong evidence of the possibility of publishing anthropology pictorially and the necessity for an archive where scholars can study the photographs and motion pictures of other researchers (Bateson and Mead 1942). In the Study of Culture at a Distance (1953), Mead along with Bateson, Metraux and others demonstrated the possibility that anthropologists could profitably study the images of Western culture. Without question, Mead was the "mother" of visual anthropology in the United States.

Extractions: Tests and Assessments: Syllabus Teaching Statement 1. OVERVIEW AND APPROACH This course package is presented in a format that is intended to be useful for any potential instructors of the course. It is for an introductory archaeology class offered in the University of South Florida (USF) Department of Anthropology. It is aimed at the college sophomore or junior, anthropology major and non-major alike; it also attracts first and fourth-year students. The course is structured to include two basic areas of knowledge: (2) World prehistory and early history, emphasizing famous sites and important human systems and processes, such as the origins of culture, food production, and civilization. Many anthropology departments, or even different instructors in the same department, break down these two into separate courses; this can also be done with the two sections described here. Two textbooks are used, one covering each half of the course. At USF we are committed to the philosophy that anthropology must be both a scholarly pursuit and an applied, real-world discipline. This includes the perspective that all archaeology is public archaeology in some way or/and another. Thus the SAA effort to redesign the archaeology curriculum is a good fit for what we already aim to bring to the undergraduate in general and specifically for this course, which is usually the first time the student experiences archaeology.
