Consumption & Culture (Straughn, I.)

Our modern "society of the spectacle" often equates your consumption to your very humanity. Explores the ways in which our desire for things expresses our identity, politics, place within society, and how what we consume dominates social life.

Anthropology of Work (Zarate, S.)

The UCI campus has beautifully manicured landscapes. Our classrooms are always cleaned for us to learn together. But how often do we think of the work and workers required to make that happen? This course focuses on different kinds of labor that, although often crucial to our everyday lives, is devalued and made invisible by regimes of race, gender, and human exceptionalism. We will explore ethnographies that range from domestic work to transnational surrogacy to the entangled worlds of "human" and ecological labor. We will delve into theories of life, value, exploitation, and resistance as a way to think with but also beyond the category of labor.

Medical Anthropology (Fletcher, E.) (xlist Chc/Lat 178A) (MSTS Course) (Satisfies GE Requirement VIII)

Anthropology of the Paranormal (Lecture A - O'Rourke, S.)
Over the last few decades, the "Western" world's interest in the paranormal has escalated and this is reflected in the great many films and television programs on the subject. Accordingly, through the application of critical theories this course will examine the beliefs, practices, and histories of the paranormal in the context of modernity and the politics of representation. We will delve into spiritualism, hauntings, anthropologists' encounters with the paranormal, UFOs, and Bigfoot. We will study the paranormal in "Western" cultures and engage a cross-cultural investigation of the paranormal in various Asian cultures. The modern subcultures that develop around paranormal phenomena, such as ghost hunters, covens, and passionate UFO investigators, are interesting to anthropologists in their own right. However, they also provide a mirror for understanding mainstream knowledge production, and especially the relationship among science, the supernatural, the media, and the public. These critical approaches will illuminate how various sociocultural domains of knowledge and power strive to assert "truths" about the paranormal through their claims of expertise, experience, and/or objectivity.

Law and Violence (Lecture B - Al-Bulushi, S.)
What does it mean to act, govern, or protest in the name of 'humanity'? What sense can we make of the idea that compassion, violence, and the law are so intimately intertwined in today's world? As states, NGOs, and international institutions are increasingly preoccupied with the question of 'security,' this class will grapple with the reality that seemingly benign entities (e.g. the United Nations) are tasked with managing and policing the populations they claim to serve. We will critically engage with the idea of a purportedly universal 'humanity,' and with the notion of humanitarianism as an ethos, a set of laws, and a form of power. At the same time, we will grapple with questions of solidarity and justice, studying the convergences and divergences between imperial and anti-imperial invocations of 'humanity.' Drawing on ethnographic texts, we will explore the cultivation of sensibilities about grievable life, and consider how race, gender, and class shape policies and popular struggles that contend with how violence is named and how it is addressed.

Urban Ethnography (Lecture C - Sojoyner, D.)
What is the point of urban ethnography? Rather than an existential question, an emphasis of this course is to cull through the history of the field and understand the very oft-problematic stance of urban ethnography to racialized, gendered and sexed populations in the United States. With a firm grasp of the history, we will then move forward and analyze the somewhat uneven development of the field through the lens of urban ethnographic texts. Immersed within the belief that a multifaceted analysis is needed to analyze the field of urban ethnography, this course is designed to introduce students to both the methodological and practical impact(s) of conducting and writing ethnography.

With short assignments we will experiment with writing about these relations of power in different genres. Your project for the seminar will be a research paper that critically examines the representation of the woman's body in a specific media example of greatest interest to you.

Writing Sciences (Anthro Major Seminar) (Section B - Fortun, M.) (Upper Division Writing Requirement)
Explores the complexities of the sciences and scientists – the interwoven cultural, technical, social, ethical and political dimensions of scientific worlds from laboratories to legislatures. We learn from the writings of scientists, science writers, anthropologists, and other researchers how to understand the sciences not as a disinterested pursuit of abstract eternal truth, but as a human activity fully immersed in a world of uncertainties, charged histories, scarce resources, differences of language and culture, and the harsh realities of both nature and politics. Over the course of the quarter students will develop an independent research project on a topic of their choice, building toward a short article about a scientist, a recent discovery or controversy, a health or environmental problem in need of better scientific insight, or similar topic of contemporary interest and importance.

Archaeology or Aliens?: Conspiracy, Pseudoscience, and the Emergence of Civilizations (Straughn, I.) (GE III & VIII)

Archaeology has inspired (and sometimes actively encouraged) various theories about aliens, lost civilizations, dark conspiracies, and mysterious technologies. Does such an intimate relationship with these fantastic notions undermine archaeology and its claims of authoritative knowledge about past cultures?

Standing with Standing Rock (Richland, J.)

In April 2016, a group of leaders, citizens, and supporters of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribal Nation began a year-long standoff against U.S. and North Dakota government officials and representatives of Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners, owners of the Dakota Access Pipeline. The Standing Rock Sioux Nation and their allies opposed construction of the pipeline, which skirted their tribal lands, claiming that it threatened their water sources, ceremonial sites and was approved without proper legal vetting. Over the course of its existence the standoff would swell to tens of thousands of participants, many of whom who would square off in sometimes peaceful, sometimes violent confrontations with state and private police forces, and thereby draw national attention to the Mni Wiconi/ #NODAPL movement, but also to the rights Native American peoples in the U.S. more generally. Understanding what happened, and is happening, with Standing Rock, demands a deeper consideration of the forces of law, politics, economics and culture have shaped the history of US relations with Native Americans and their nations. This class takes the occasion of the Standing Rock/Mni Wiconi/#NODAPL movement and its circumstances to introduce students to the history and contemporary shape of US relations to Native American peoples, their legal, political, and socioeconomic opportunities and constraints, and how Native Nations today are working to articulate, in their own terms, their status in the United States and the world.

Global Mental Health (Fletcher, E.)
Over the last several decades, the Movement for Global Mental Health has coalesced as High-Income countries and the Global South exchange ideas and practices related to mental health services. This course will examine the Movement for Global Mental Health in a critical manner. Namely, we will trace the political economies of the global psychiatric industrial complex-- which include pharmaceutical industries, international development agencies, public health departments, prisons, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). We will also explore cultural tensions associated with the biomedicalization (biopsychiatrization) of mental illness throughout the world by reading the scholarly work of psychiatric anthropologists and other critical mental health scholars, who highlight the global variance of altered mental states and the need to address structural inequities which contribute to poor mental health outcomes. The course will conclude with a discussion of some strategies that psychiatric user/survivor groups and other patient rights advocates have used in their efforts to decolonize mental health by promoting local understandings of community mental wellbeing.

Encounters and Identities (Douglas, T.)
This course is an examination of how cultural anthropologists have examined and critiqued the concept of racial and ethnic identity, particularly within the United States.

Through an introduction to the archaeology and culture of ancient Egypt, this course examines the fascination with all things Egypt. How did it become transformed into a field of study – Egyptology – and also emerge as a commercial, artistic and even spiritual passion. From archaeologists who toil to unearth the next great tomb, to purveyors of contemporary popular culture that seek to exploit the pyramids and their mysteries for commercial success, this course explores how the Egyptian past has shaped our perception of Egypt today as well as defining ourselves as consumers of its strangeness.

Captain Cook's Voyage (Marcus, G) (xlist HIST 183 (Seed, P.)

Global Themes in Sikh Studies (Hundle, A.)

Sikh Studies is an interdisciplinary field of study that is connected to religious studies, Punjab/diaspora studies, and area studies field of South Asia studies. Most scholars agree that the question of "what is Sikh Studies" is an open one that is not self-evident. There have been debates, spanning the South Asian subcontinent and among diaspora intellectuals in the West, which have tried to fix and define what the field is, question what kinds of relations of power are bound up within it, and expand what its disciplinary and theoretical focus and geographical scope should be. In this course, we will approach "Sikh Studies" as a combination of the academic study of Sikhism (a religious, philosophical and ethical tradition), Sikh communities (collectivities organized around the tradition), and the always shifting and changing circumstances and possibilities of "Sikh life"—all according to global and interdisciplinary perspectives. As a class, we will attend to critical and contemporary topics in the field, with attention to the historical and continued development of the field. We will also attend to the development of the field via anthropological approaches and methodologies.

Policymaking & Geopolitics (Al-Bulushi, S.)

Despite the formal end of colonial rule, the forms of knowledge through which global policymaking is apprehended and explained continue to be dominated by Euro-American scholars, 'experts,' and paradigms. If and when people and places in the Global South receive attention, they are often analyzed only in relation to the strategic interests and practices of powerful states. As such, Global South populations provide the data for Global North-based theories but are rarely recognized as theorists or practitioners of policy and so-called 'global' challenges themselves. Through engagement with ethnographic work on the one hand, and Global South thought on the other, this course employs an interdisciplinary approach to decolonize the study of policymaking and geopolitics.

Writing Ethnography (Anthro Major Seminar) (Marcus, G.)

 Writing the City (Anthro Major Seminar) (Nam, S.)

 We come to know about cities in a variety of ways, not only through the act of travel but through the narratives we read. The city has made possible new modes of experience, novel encounters between people, as well as the chance to tell stories differently. The travelogue has long relayed to readers, near and far, the rich textures of places and people often considered remote and exotic. Of course, these representations are not impervious to power and are shaped by two foundational issues: what gets represented and who gets to do the representation? Because of its methods and its objects of study, anthropological writing is also deeply enmeshed with narrating cities as well as place (landscapes and built environments) more broadly. This majors' seminar explores how writers have tried to capture the experience of city life across disciplines and literary genres. We won't focus on a correct form of representation but instead to engage with the how and the what of representation. As a writing course, the course will be organized on critical reading and writing schools through a series of essays and in-class writing exercises.
