HDAA 251 - Communicating Heritage:Why Past Matters to Present
Unit(s): 3
Heritage encompasses cultural and natural resources that connect the past to the present, both tangible (material culture, built environment, place, plants, animals) and intangible (language, music, dance, cooking techniques). This course will introduce students to the methods and concepts used by anthropologists and other social scientists to identify, evaluate, interpret, and preserve heritage in compliance with legal requirements and in collaboration with engaged communities around the world. Cultural heritage and resources management professionals work with local, state, and federal parks, land management agencies, transportation and infrastructure developers and more. This career path requires the oral communication skills that will be introduced and developed in this course, which fulfills the GE 1C (Oral Communication) requirement. It is open to all majors, and is a requirement for students in the “Culture, Heritage, Environment, and Power” subprogram of the Human Development & Applied Anthropology major.

The history and socio-political impacts of archaeological practice and cultural heritage in the region are also examined.

HDAA 328 - Climate Change and the Life Course
Unit(s): 4
The course pushes students to consider how the phenomenon of human-induced climate change is shaping our experience of the life course from infancy through old age. Topics include the impact of climate change on human health across processes of aging, the way that climate change and climate change-related disasters shape our experience of the timing or temporality of the life course, among other issues. It situates these concerns relative to a broader set of issues around how humans relate to their social, material, and ecological environments. A challenge along these lines is to consider how a process such as climate change – massively distributed in time and space – becomes visible, sensible, and impactful for humans living in relatively local, cultural worlds. The primary method of the course is experiential and project-based: students learn how to develop interview-driven research projects, and they develop individual projects on climate change and the life course.

HDAA 351 - Archaeology of Complex Societies

This course presents the concepts, methods, and evidence that archaeologists use to reconstruct the emergence of complex human societies, including cities, states, and empires. A comparative perspective is employed to discuss prehistoric societies from around the globe, including Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, and South America. Cultural traditions and social practices related to social complexity are explored, such as social hierarchies based on kinship, gender, class; writing and record-keeping; art and technology; belief systems; trade and exchange; and colonialism.

HDAA 381 - Politics of Well-Being in Northern California
Unit(s): 4
The course considers some of the ways in which health and well-being gets unequally distributed across social differences, with a special focus on Northern California. The first half of the course is devoted to developing tools for thinking about how the “helping professions” oftentimes serve to reproduce inequalities in health and well-being. In a second, more applied component of the course, students consider how specific careers get structured by this politics (e.g., careers in social work, nursing, community health, etc.), and students then take up the ways in which well-being gets distributed unequally across lines of race and class in Northern California. The goal of the course is to give students critical insight into the unequal distribution of health and well-being in Northern California, the way that the helping professions are a part of the systems that drive this inequality, and some ways to think about positive change.
