SENIOR THESIS SEM IN ANTHROPOL

Prerequisites: The instructors permission. Students must have declared a major in Anthropology prior to registration. Students must have a 3.6 GPA in the major and a preliminary project concept in order to be considered. Interested students must communicate/meet with thesis instructor in the previous spring about the possibility of taking the course during the upcoming academic year. Additionally, expect to discuss with the instructor at the end of the fall term whether your project has progressed far enough to be completed in the spring term. If it has not, you will exit the seminar after one semester, with a grade based on the work completed during the fall term. This two-term course is a combination of a seminar and a workshop that will help you conduct research, write, and present an original senior thesis in anthropology. Students who write theses are eligible to be considered for departmental honors. The first term of this course introduces a variety of approaches used to produce anthropological knowledge and writing; encourages students to think critically about the approaches they take to researching and writing by studying model texts with an eye to the ethics, constraints, and potentials of anthropological research and writing; and gives students practice in the seminar and workshop formats that are key to collegial exchange and refinement of ideas. During the first term, students complete a few short exercises that will culminate in a substantial draft of one discrete section of their senior project (18-20 pages) plus a detailed outline of the expected work that remains to be done (5 pages). The spring sequence of the anthropology thesis seminar is a writing intensive continuation of the fall semester, in which students will have designed the research questions, prepared a full thesis proposal that will serve as a guide for the completion of the thesis and written a draft of one chapter. Only those students who expect to have completed the fall semester portion of the course are allowed to register for the spring; final enrollment is contingent upon successful completion of first semester requirements. In spring semester, weekly meetings will be devoted to the collaborative refinement of drafts, as well as working through issues of writing (evidence, voice, authority etc.). All enrolled students are required to present their project at a symposium in the late spring, and the final grade is based primarily on successful completion of the thesis/ capstone project. Note: The senior thesis seminar is open t

Race, Space and Policing in US City

Race, space, and policing mediate possibilities for life and death in U.S. cities and suburbs. This course introduces students to carceral geographies of race and urban space and to Marxist, feminist, and postcolonial approaches to the city. Through a discussion of (sub)urban problems—from environmental racism to housing justice to police abolition—we will explore how race and space are produced and policed. Our course material includes scholarship from American Studies, geography, history, anthropology, and Ethnic Studies along with work by visual artists, poets, and essayists. Our readings include the cities that dominate U.S. urban theory: Chicago, New York, Los Angeles. But we will also engage with “ordinary” cities, from the migrant meatpacking town of Beardstown, Illinois, to the suburbs of the San Gabriel Valley. This seminar takes a transnational approach to “U.S. cities” and includes work from occupied Baghdad, Iraq; Ciudad Juárez, Mexico; and San Juan, Puerto Rico. Together, we will ask: What is the relationship between race and space? How is knowledge about the city produced, and from where? How do race, space, and policing determine the distribution of safety and harm? And finally: how might we live otherwise in our cities? We will explore the meaning of policing expansively, moving from street-level policing to public health bureaucracies to the policing of property. Throughout this course, we will attend not only to the violence of racialized policing but also to the freedom dreams of abolitionist social movements who imagine more expansive and just sub/urban futures.
