Anthropology 513 Bioarchaeology Seminar Instructor: Dr. Corey Ragsdale Office: Social Science 217 Email: [email protected] Office hours: TR 2:00 to 3:30 Course Description Bioarchaeology allows us to ‘people’ the past. To do this, bioarchaeologists follow two general rules of thumb. First, they contextualize human remains in physical space, cultural milieu, and pre-historic time. That is, skeletonized and mummified bodies are never examined without also considering their associated archaeological materials. Second, bioarchaeologists regard ancient bodies as bio-cultural phenomena. Human biology is impacted directly by culture, and vice versa. With these two ideas in hand, we will explore bioarchaeology’s history, development, major topical concerns, and debates. We will also engage critically with categories and assumptions about race, sex/gender, age, ethnicity, disease and disability, violence, and body parts. To conclude the semester, we will reflect upon bioarchaeology’s relevance in contemporary politics.

  • How to Create Your Own Environmental Emphasis
    HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN ENVIRONMENTAL EMPHASIS 2019 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES PROGRAM, UCSB 2020 Because of the interdisciplinary design of the B.A. and B.S. Environmental Studies major requirements students are afforded the opportunity to customize their upper-division electives (Area B) and outside concentration (Area C) to create a distinct environmental emphasis or concentration unique to their personal and professional goals and needs. Students may choose from a wide selection of courses from the ES Program as well as departments across campus. This information sheet demonstrates how one may create a personalized concentration by offering some example emphases popular with current ES students. Although one may choose to follow one of the emphases included here, they are SUGGESTIVE ONLY! One may satisfy their major requirements with any combination of applicable courses/units as long as they form a coherent and comprehensive emphasis. Be sure to review the upper-division ES major requirements below before starting an emphasis. A Request to Petition Degree Requirements will be required to apply courses from multiple departments towards the Area C, and can be download here: www.es.ucsb.edu/degreerequirements Please Note: Pursuing an environmental emphasis as part of your Area B & C requirements can help prepare students for a specialized field or profession. However, one’s interdisciplinary emphasis will not be officially noted on their diploma or transcripts. One can highlight their emphasis on their resume and/or cover letter. Please consult an ES Academic Advisor (Bren Hall 4L, Rm. 4312 or 4313) if you have any questions. Review of ES Degree’s Upper-division Requirements: B.A.
