Extractions: (Text in red is linked to other sites) Margaret Mead Film and Video Festival The American Museum of Natural History's Margaret Mead Film and Video Festival was organized in New York in 1977 in recognition of Margaret Mead's pioneering use of film to document culture. Margaret Mead was one of the first to recognize the significance of using film in fieldwork. From 1936 to 1938 she worked among the Balinese with husband Gregory Bateson and cinematographer Jane Belo and produced the now classic titles, TRANCE AND DANCE IN BALI, LEARNING TO DANCE IN BALI and KARBA'S FIRST YEARS. The festival has been devoted to realizing Mead's goal of informing "general audiences" about similarities and differences in cultural practices. Although most of the films and videos are produced by independent artists, about 20 percent of the works each year have some anthropological input, whether it be director, producer or researcher.
Welcome To Andhra University :: Department Of Anthropology The Department of anthropology, Andhra University, established in 1961, has a sound infrastructural base for pursuing teaching and research activities. http://www.andhrauniversity.info/arts/anthopology/
Extractions: Contact Us Department Profile The Department of Anthropology, Andhra University, established in 1961, is one of the premier University departments of India. It was the first Anthropology department in South India. Initially, post-graduate teaching and research was offered only in Social Anthropology. Later, Physical Anthropology Specialization in 1969 and Prehistory specialization in 1970 were introduced. To-day, it offers post-graduate and doctoral programs in all branches of Anthropology. In its formative stages, it had the good fortune of getting nurtured under the able leadership of eminent anthropologists such as Prof. N.S.Reddy, Prof. Aiyyappan, Prof. M.R.Chakravarthi, who themselves were trained by renowned scholars such as Prof. D.N.Majumdar, H.D.Sankalia and F.Vogel. Prof. G. Golla Reddy, Prof. D. L. Prasada Rao, Prof. M. Kodanda Rao, and Prof. K.Thimma Reddy belong to the second generation of the faculty, who helped for the growth of the department. Students for the four-semester postgraduate program in Anthropology are drawn from arts and science subjects admitted through a common entrance test held by the university. They are exposed in the fourth semester to a three week field-work in tribal areas to provide them first hand experience in data collection, analysis and report writing.
At-A-Glance: Anthropology In the Department of anthropology, what do teaching assistants (TA s) do? Extracurricular activities. Undergraduate anthropology Club http://ataglance.buffalo.edu/academicprograms/apyaag.shtml
Extractions: Director of Undergraduate Studies Anthropology combines the biological, historical, and social sciences in a unique study of humankind. It is the only discipline that examines and attempts to understand humankind as a whole and to study the human being as an animal, a social creature, and a literate being. The University at Buffalo's undergraduate program includes physical anthropology, archaeology, and cultural anthropology. Physical anthropology studies the origins, adaptations, and evolution of our own species and of our primate relatives. Archaeology studies the historical development of human cultures by analyzing cultural remains. Cultural anthropology studies the innate, shared, and transmitted products of social groups. Its approach is descriptive, historical, and comparative. It enables students to evaluate the quality of life in their own social milieu through comparison with that in various others: simple and complex, developed or developing, urban, suburban, or rural.

C.S. Lewis - General Teachings/Activities It was also the beginning of a lower doctrine of anthropology and ensuing Lewis is teaching damnable false doctrine here, and it is even more wicked, http://www.rapidnet.com/~jbeard/bdm/exposes/lewis/general.htm
Extractions: - C.S. Lewis was born in Belfast, Ireland, the younger of two sons; he was named Clive Staples Lewis. He claimed to have been converted to Christianity in 1931 and was, as he put it: "A very ordinary layman of The Church of England." (Lewis was a member of the apostate Church of England, an institution whose history is based largely on theological compromise with Rome.) He had no theological training. He was the author of 40-plus books which included poems, novels, children's books, science fiction, theology, literary criticisms, educational philosophy, and an autobiography. From 1954 until his death, he was professor of medieval and Renaissance English at Cambridge University. Today, C.S. Lewis is known as a distinguished literary scholar and Christian apologist. Mere Christianity (a book upon which the beliefs of many professing Christians are based) is considered one of the most profound and logically irrefutable writings on Christian apologetics. Nevertheless, even this book is fraught with theological error. (For example, the concept of "mere Christianity" means agreeing on a small common denominator of Christian truth, while tolerating great areas of disagreement.) In 1993
Anthropology Teaching Kits to learn about different cultures through interactive educational activities . The anthropology teaching kits provide an easy and fun learning http://fhss.byu.edu/anthro/mopc/PAGES/Education/teachingkits.htm
Extractions: Anthropology Teaching Kits Transport the Museum of Peoples and Cultures educational experience into any classroom with five anthropology teaching kits offered by the Museum. The five teaching kits focus on They provide hands-on experience for students. Students of all ages will enjoy learning about cultural diversity through artifacts and crafts made by the people from different cultures and time periods. Each kit contains real artifacts and objects, replicas, traditional crafts, sample lesson plans, educational videos, audio tapes, and reference books. For the Classroom These teaching kits are designed to support the required curriculum in Utah public schools. They enable students to learn about different cultures through interactive educational activities. For example, objects in the kits may serve as props for creative writing. Videos, music, and reference books may provide a cultural historical background for research assignments. Woven goods, pottery, bead work, rock and ceramic paintings, and different textiles may serve as examples or models for art projects. The kits can be used to heighten the teaching experience in many different ways to make learning a more hands-on experience for students.

Extractions: and Computing ( CSAC The Centre for Social Anthropology and Computing was founded in 1985 by Prof. John Davis. The Centre was originally organised to focus computer-related activities within anthropology at a time when departmental organisation was more or less absent. Since that time anthropology has been organised into a formal budgetary entity, first BOSSSA, and most recently DOSSA. Initially CSAC was directly involved in teaching and training, as well as research. The teaching functions have been almost entirely incorporated into DOSSA, and instructional computing, with the exception of Lucy, the CSAC Unix server, is now funded from devolved equipment funds. The Department makes contributions to maintain Lucy, and has contributed some capitol expenditure. CSAC has served the Department in a variety of ways. Computing in anthropology at Kent was first funded in 1984 by a Computer Board Teaching Initiative Grant which supplied equipment for students and staff for instructional purposes, basically an High Level Hardware Orion Unix host and some BBC micros used as terminals. At the same time the University Funding Council awarded a New Blood Lectureship in Social Anthropology and Computing. CSAC initially formed around the idea of forming a group around similar to the model presented by the Quantitative Anthropology Laboratory (QAL) at Berkeley, but more focused on non-numerical applications of computing in anthropology. At that time there was a very limited role for computing in anthropology, and most of that based on various numerical methods which applied at best peripherally to main issues within anthropology.
Extractions: Previous Section CSAC provided the initial impetus and means for both the Royal Anthropological Instiute and the Association of Social Anthropologists to go online. On behalf of the RAI we host the Anthropological Index online a major anthropology bibliography which is receiving in excess of 100k accesses per month. Our research activities have recently been on multimedia and on the use of XML to represent field and archival material. One major completed project with support from HEFCE FDTL was Experience Rich Anthropology More recently, the major role of CSAC has been in promoting, supporting and initiating anthropological research which benefits from computer-based methods. The research which has been done followed the research interests already existing in the department: historical anthropology, kinship and social organisation, economic anthropology, cognitive anthropology, visual anthropology, ethnobiology and environmental anthropology. Within the context of anthropology in the UK our collective grant income over this period has been substantial. Over the past five years we have been the most successful research unit in anthropology in the UK with respect to basic (non-applied) research grants funded by the Research Councils. Last year we were awarded over 30% of all ESRC grants allocated for anthropology in both number and value.

Extractions: Medical Anthropology Since its origins in 1982 the Program in Medical Anthropology has supported a significant part of the Department of Social Medicine's research, projects, training programs and activities in public service. The Medical Anthropology Program's teaching activities link together the Department of Social Medicine and the Department of Anthropology and include courses for Harvard undergraduates, graduate students, medical students and postdoctoral fellows. Faculty in Medical Anthropology teach many of the selectives in social medicine for Harvard medical students, including courses on the social roots of disease; culture, poverty and infectious disease; international health and human rights; women's health; and social and ethical dimensions of new biotechnologies. The Friday Morning Seminar has been a central feature of the Program in Medical Anthropology. The seminar has met weekly since 1984, bringing together faculty, fellows, graduate students and interested clinicians to explore issues of culture and mental health. The Program's research and advocacy activities are organized in several programs including the Program in Infectious Disease and Social Change, Programs in Culture and Mental Health and the Center for the Cultural Studies of Biomedicine. Several of these programs are closely affiliated with the World Health Organization. At present faculty are conducting research in Haiti, Peru, Russia, Indonesia and China as well as in several communities in Boston, New York, Chicago and elsewhere in the U.S.

M.Sc. Visual Anthropology and others devoted to workshops and practical activities; Teaching Staff.Marcus Banks, Reader in Social and Cultural anthropology, ISCA, http://www.rsl.ox.ac.uk/isca/visual/visual.htm
Extractions: Applications invited for October 2004 Visual Anthropology has been taught as an option course at the Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology (ISCA) and the Pitt Rivers Museum (PRM) for over ten years, initially for what is now the M.Sc. / M.Phil. in Material Anthropology and Museum Ethnography, then for the undergraduate Archaeology and Anthropology degree and finally for what is now the M.Sc. / M.Phil. in Social Anthropology. Building upon this strength ISCA commenced teaching a full M.Sc. in Visual Anthropology in 2002; places for entry on the coming year's course are now closed, but applications are invited from students to commence study in October 2004. The degree aims to provide students who have a strong background in social anthropology (or equivalent) with a thorough training in the theories and methods of visual anthropological research, in preparation for planned doctoral research or to gain employment in areas such as museum and visual archive work, or media research. Course Structure and Content The emphasis of the degree is upon the interpretation of images in their social context. This includes the historical and contemporary use of visual media by anthropologists and others, and the creation and use of visual systems within societies themselves. Through classes, lectures and some limited practical work, students learn to see the role visual systems play in the representation of anthropological knowledge and - just as importantly - the role visual systems play in the societies that anthropologists study. There is a particular emphasis on colonial image production and consumption, and the 'life' of images in the archive and museum, drawing upon current research at Oxford in this area.
