.Students must choose a major subject and may choose a minor subject. Students may also select from one of seven concentrations, which are offered to enhance a student's work in the major or minor and to focus work on a specific area of interest.
Concentrations are an intentional cluster of courses already offered by various academic departments or through general programs. These courses may also be cross-listed in several academic departments. Therefore, when registering for a course that counts toward a concentration, a student should register for the course listed in her major or minor department. If the concentration course is not listed in her major or minor department, the student may enroll in any listing of that course.

ANTH B200 The Atlantic World 1492-1800 Spring 2012 The aim of this course is to provide an understanding of the way in which peoples, goods, and ideas from Africa, Europe, and the Americas came together to form an interconnected Atlantic World system. The course is designed to chart the manner in which an integrated system was created in the Americas in the early modern period, rather than to treat the history of the Atlantic World as nothing more than an expanded version of North American, Caribbean, or Latin American history. (Gallup-Diaz,I. -- Division I or Division III) Cross-listed as HIST B200 ANTH B253 Childhood in the African Experience Not offered 2011-12 An overview of cultural contexts and indigenous literatures concerning the richly varied experience and interpretation of infancy and childhood in selected regions of Africa. Cultural practices such as pregnancy customs, naming ceremonies, puberty rituals, sibling relationships, and gender identity are included. Modern concerns such as child abuse, street children, and other social problems of recent origin involving children are considered in terms of theoretical approaches current in the social sciences. Prerequisites: anthropology major, any social sciences introductory course, Africana studies concentration, or permission of instructor. (Kilbride,P. -- Division I: Social Science) ANTH B341 Cultural Perspectives on Marriage and Family Not offered 2011-12 This course considers various theoretical perspectives that inform our understanding of cross-cultural constructions of marriage and the family. Sociobiology, deviance, feminism, social constructionism, and cultural evolutionary approaches will be compared using primarily anthropological-ethnographic case examples. Cultural material from Africa and the United States will be emphasized. Applications will emphasize current U.S. socially contested categories such as same-sex marriage, plural marriage, gender diversity, divorce, and the blended family. Prerequisites: any history, biology, or social science major. (Kilbride,P. -- Division I: Social Science) ARCH B101 Introduction to Egyptian and Near Eastern Archaeology: Egypt and Mesopotamia Not offered 2011-12 A historical survey of the archaeology and art of the ancient Near East and Egypt.

Section 001 (Spring 2012): Urbanization in Africa Spring 2012 The course examines the cultural, environmental, economic, political, and social factors that contributed to the expansion and transformation of preindustrial cities, colonial cities, and cities today.

(Ngalamulume,K. -- Division I: Social Science) Cross-listed as HIST B237 CITY B266 Schools in American Cities Spring 2012 This course examines issues, challenges, and possibilities of urban education in contemporary America.

While we look at urban education nationally over several decades, we use Philadelphia as a focal "case" that students investigate through documents and school placements. Enrollment is limited to 25 with priority given to students pursuing certification or the minor in educational studies and to majors in Sociology and Growth and Structure of Cities. This is a Praxis I course (weekly fieldwork in a school required).

(Beard,L. -- Division III: Humanities) Cross-listed as ENGL B279 COML B388 Contemporary African Fiction Not offered 2011-12 Noting that the official colonial independence of most African countries dates back only half a century, this course focuses on the fictive experiments of the most recent decade. A few highly controversial works from the 90's serve as an introduction to very recent work. Most works are in English. To experience depth as well as breadth, there is a small cluster of works from South Africa. With novels and tales from elsewhere on the huge African continent, we will get a glimpse of "living in the present" in history and letters. (Beard,L. -- Division III: Humanities) Cross-listed as ENGL B388 ECON B324 The Economics of Discrimination and Inequality Fall 2011 Explores the causes and consequences of discrimination and inequality in economic markets.

This class will address that gap, by exploring the use-value of the category of non-fictional prose in organizing our experience of, and our thinking about, literature. Might our attending to such texts alter our sense of what literature is?
