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

Learned Women from the Low Countries (an

Learned Women fr Low Coun

This weekly seminar course explores women’s historical involvement in the learned and literary world of Early Modern Europe. We will study contemporary debates on women’s intellectual capacities and their contributions to the intellectual field, with a specific focus on the Low Countries, as this course is organized as part of the Queen Wilhelmina Visiting Professorship of Dutch Studies.

In the past decades, historians from various disciplines have reassessed the contributions of women to early modern intellectual culture. Large-scale recovery projects, dictionaries of women writers, editions and anthologies of their works, and the rise of feminist bibliography have challenged the male-dominated historiographies and canons. The highly urbanized, literate, and cosmopolitan Low Countries proved to be a particularly interesting context, allowing women to participate in public life. By studying key players, crucial concepts and current as well as historical debates, connecting to a series of thematic and source-driven case studies, we will analyze the various ways in which women could leave their mark in the (patriarchal) world of learning, comprising the arts and sciences, as well as religious spheres.

After a general introduction to learned women in the early modern period, we delve deeper into various textual and visual representations of female learnedness. This analysis will be framed through theoretical concepts such as self-fashioning, posture and persona, alongside recent art-historical insights into the role of (authorial) portraits. Focusing on both well-known and lesser-known women, we will gain insights into women’s opportunities, hindrances, and experiences as evident from their works, in the broader social, cultural, political and economic contexts.

During the seminars, we will discuss and analyze primary sources and secondary literature from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, including literary history, art history and book history. The program includes working visits to the Rare Book and Manuscript Library of Butler Library and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The course is taught in English. All readings will be available in translation.

Revolution and Decolonization in the Afr

This undergraduate/graduate seminar examines the history of Black revolutionary movements for decolonization from the era of slavery to the late twentieth century. While studies of what historians have called “Black Internationalism” have emerged over the past ten years, the revolutionary and decolonial legacies of Black Freedom movements have tended to be overshadowed by nation-centric models of Black Studies that tend to predominate in the field. This course poses long-standing questions for a new generation of students. How have Black revolutionary thinkers and movements analyzed the racial, class, gendered, and sexual dimensions of colonization? How have they confronted colonial state power and envisioned postcolonial transformation? What obstacles did these movements face? What lessons can be learned from revisiting Black revolutionary traditions? The course employs both intellectual history and social movement methodologies so that students can develop the tools to examine histories of decolonization and the visions of freedom that they inspired. While the class begins with the foundational struggles against slavery, the bulk of the course focuses on the revolutionary struggles of the mid-late 20th century, when a wide array of decolonization movements from Ghana and the Congo, to Cuba and the United States, attempted to challenge Euro-American imperial domination. The course’s diasporic focus, including struggles for decolonization in Africa, prompts students to explore the connections and resonances across national borders and colonial frontiers.
