Extractions: The goal of the anthropology department at St. Charles Community College is to help each student develop a global perspective of people, places and things. This perspective seeks to enable each student to understand the variations between people of various cultures in terms of their norms, values and social organization. As well, the development of this perspective better prepares the student to become a citizen of the world. Finally, our department seeks to enhance one's skills for future employment. Anthropology Courses The word anthropology is derived from the Greek anthropos ("human") and loggia ("science"), meaning the scientific study of human kind. Anthropology traces human footprints from their beginnings, millions of years ago, to the present. Anthropology seeks to understand the entire panorama of human behavior and experience. The primary goal of the discipline of anthropology is to advance our knowledge of who we are and how we humans came to be this way. By knowing this we can, then, as thinking people, work to construct our tomorrow. There are four subdisciplines in anthropology. These include archeology, cultural anthropology, physical anthropology and linguistic anthropology. Archeologists study societies of the past. The cultural anthropologist studies human cultures where physical anthropologists study human evolution. Finally, linguistic anthropologists concentrate on the structure and practice of languages from culture to culture. The goal of anthropology is to help us understand how cultural forces cause certain social behavior and, in reaching this understanding, we are then better able to appreciate different cultures throughout the world and the various subcultures within our own society.

These efforts include activities in research, teaching, and outreach. The Department sees itself as having a primary focus in this area, and the breadth and depth of activities supports this view. Norm Sauer is a physical anthropologist who conducts extensive forensic anthropological research in Michigan and throughout the Great Lakes region. Sauer is considered on of the leading specialists in this area. He has trained many law enforcement professionals in forensic anthropology techniques and recovery procedures, and regularly works on specific cases for police departments. As an archaeologist, Lovis has assisted Sauer in supplying forensic archaeology training to law enforcement specialists. The Department regularly trains both undergraduate and graduate students in Great Lakes archaeology and ethnography, through field schools and regular programmatic coursework. Graduates of the Department teach at almost every university in Michigan, as well as other universities and colleges throughout the region, and continue to conduct Great Lakes research.

Anthropology Faculty At UGA ANTH 2200), which I will teach for the typically attracts students both from Anthropologyand from the initiative or other research activities associated with http://anthro.dac.uga.edu/brosius.htm
Extractions: Peter Brosius Both my research and teaching is premised on the belief that anthropology has an important role to play not only in contributing to our understanding of the human impact on the physical and biotic environment, but also in showing how that environment is constructed, represented, claimed, and contested. PAST RESEARCH I have a long-standing interest in the human ecology of Southeast Asia, particularly with respect to issues of environmental degradation. In 1990 I published a monograph entitled After Duwagan: Deforestation, Succession, and Adaptation in Upland Luzon, Philippines, which examined the historical ecology of deforestation in the Mt. Pinatubo region of the Philippines. My primary concern was to use succession theory to develop a general model for assessing the long-term impact of the primary forms of anthropogenic disturbance in the area. Since joining the anthropology faculty at UGA in 1992, my research has focused on the international campaign against logging in the East Malaysian state of Sarawak, on the island of Borneo. In the 1980s logging companies in Sarawak moved into areas occupied by Penan hunter-gatherers. In response the Penan resisted the activities of these companies by erecting blockades, thereby becoming the focus of a broad-based transnational environmental and indigenous rights campaign which has persisted, albeit somewhat diminished, up to the present. Their story has received broad international media coverage and

Extractions: March 2000 Highlights from Syllabus Magazine Volume 13, No. 7 Curriculum and Productivity Products Design and Development of Online Courses: Faculty Working In Collaboration Jason Rosenblum, St. Edwards University I magine this scenario. You are a faculty member who has just been asked to teach a new course in anthropology, Mythology and American Culture, in Summer 2000. It is currently March 2000. This would be the first time you have taught the course, and although you are an expert in the field and have access to a considerable amount of information, the design of the course content is new. Now imagine that you are asked to deliver a section of this course as an online course to a group of 15 anthropology students. You currently have a four-class, two-prep teaching load, advise students, and serve on faculty committees. How do you get ready? How do you design an online course that is as effective as those that you teach in person? How do you learn about and use technical and instructional resources to construct and test this course in four months? In many aspects, the design of an online course is similar to that of its in-person counterpart. The content is still based on learning outcomes and course goals. In addition, the course schedule is still a balance between including what students need to learn to accomplish the course objectives and the time available. A key challenge is to create an environment in which the students do not need to rely on face-to-face contact to learn material.

Extractions: By Rosemary C. Henze One of the goals of the AAA, as defined in the Long-Range Plan, is to develop greater visibility and relevance to the wider public. One way to do this is through outreach and collaboration with PreK - 12 education and community colleges. Last year, the Long-Range Planning Committee established a new group to develop plans for how AAA can increase its visibility and relevance in public education. This group, now called the Anthropology Education Commission (AEC), had its first full meeting April 7-8 in Philadelphia. As Chair of the AEC, one of my new duties is to let AAA members know who we are, what we hope to accomplish, and how AAA members can help. Who we are What we hope to accomplish The Anthropology Education Commission will help achieve significant progress toward the integration of anthropological concepts, methods, and issues into Pre-K through community college and adult education as one means of increasing public understanding of anthropology.

Extractions: The Anthropology Program The Anthropology major provides a broad base of information about what makes humans unique: Culture. Culture is the totality of what we learn, and it is the basis for how we define the world. Anthropologists study all kinds of individual cultures, both living and dead, simple and complex, to gain an understanding of it as a human phenomenon. The very nature of Anthropology is multicultural and historical. Throughout the classroom and methods courses, students are exposed and educated in many different cultures that have and do exist. The Department of Anthropology at the University of West Florida offers a program leading the Bachelor of Arts degree in Anthropology. An Anthropology minor is also offered. We also offer the graduate archaeology courses for the Masters of Arts in Historical Archaeology in the History Department.

What research methodologies do anthropologists most commonly use? What is anthropology? Anthropology is the scientific study of human biological diversity and the collective behaviors that make up culture. Anthropologists study humans from their beginnings millions of years ago to the present day. Where does the word anthropology come from? The word anthropology comes from the Greek anthropos (human being) and logia (science). What are the four subfields of anthropology? Anthropology's four subfields are physical or biological anthropology, cultural or social anthropology, archaeology, and linguistics. Physical anthropologists, like Jane Goodall, focus on humans as biological organisms. Goodall has spent the last forty years living with chimpanzees in their natural habitat, seeking answers to humankind's origins and behaviors. Cultural anthropologists study the activities and behaviors that make up human culture. A cultural anthropologist might spend months living with the Inuit tribes of North America, looking at cultural changes resulting from a declining seal population. Another might work in a factory setting, teaching American workers how to adapt to the corporate culture brought by the new managers from Germany.

Project X - by Tom Meloche Jeopardy - by Tom Meloche The Missing Link - by Tom Meloche The Rational Unified Process - by Tom Meloche 3 Day Seminar $1,695 per person Background A gap often exists on software projects between the software delivered and the real users' needs. This gap is a direct result of the processes used by development organizations to capture and gather requirements. Menlo developed the concept of High-Tech Anthropology to close this gap, thus making the software development process more user centered which results in software that better serves real user needs. High-tech anthropologists study the cultural context of systems to understand real user needs and express these needs in new system design. By obtaining a better understanding of the users and their environment the high-tech anthropologists are far more successful at eliciting requirements and designing usable systems. As a result, the end system is significantly more successful because the user community can understand and utilize it effectively.
