Topic: Highland peoples of asia
Centering on ethnographic work in folklore studies, ethnology, and sociocultural anthropology, this course explores the expressive cultures, everyday lifeways, and contemporary sociopolitical circumstances of minoritized peoples living in a large-but-connected mountainous region that cuts across three conventional cultural areas: East Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia. Ethnographic research in this area is rich and its study offers rewards not only for specialists but also for others engaging elsewhere with indigenous or minoritized peoples, for those who are concerned with life in mountainous regions, for those studying social issues prominent in this literature (ex: cultural heritage, craft, verbal art, ritual/festival, missionization, majority-minority relations, human trafficking, environmental change), and for those inspired by, or curious about, general theoretical developments made based on work in this region. Readings will be in English and past experience with Asian studies is not required. Class visits by specialists working in the region are planned.

Lecture (LEC)
- Above class meets with LTAM-L 501
Topic: Contemp latin american studies
This seminar has three interrelated goals: First, it will introduce you to the history of Latin American and Caribbean Studies (LAC Studies) as an intellectual project, with a focus on how ¿Latin America and the Caribbean¿ came to exist as an object of analysis, as well as the relationship of Latin American and Caribbean Studies to larger political projects. Second, it will familiarize you with the methodologies of some of the disciplines that are important to Latin American and Caribbean Studies, including literature, history, anthropology, and political science. While you won¿t become an expert in any of these methodologies, the idea is to familiarize you with them so that you can evaluate scholarship produced in these disciplines. Third, the course is designed to help you develop skills that you need to conduct graduate level research, including using library resources and university archives, developing a research project, surveying the relevant scholarly production on your topics, writing a grant proposal, and navigating the IRB process for research with human subjects.
