Teaching

At Lehman College I teach courses in cultural anthropology, as well as a freshman seminar.  Some of my courses are cross listed with other departments, such as African and African-American Studies.  Descriptions of my courses are included in the sub-tabs of this section.

Because I teach seven courses per academic year, I am developing "teaching clusters" with colleagues at other institutions who teach courses that cover similar topics.  These teaching clusters are informal groups of colleagues who share syllabi, teaching strategies, readings and teaching resources, and ideas for assessment and evaluation of students.  If academic colleagues collaborate on overlapping and complementary areas of research, shouldn't we also be working together to develop our courses?

I have set up these teaching clusters using the "dropbox" platform.  If you would like to join a teaching cluster, please send me an email and I will add you to the list of participants on "dropbox."  Please be prepared to contribute your teaching materials, even as you are welcome to access, adapt, and develop your own teaching using others' course materials as a springboard.

Clusters include (or will eventually include):
Introduction to Anthropology
Sex and Gender
Kinship and Family
Anthropology of Sports
Anthropology of Food and Hunger
Home and Homelessness
Africa
Energy and Society
Animality and Humanity

If you have ideas about expanding these clusters, please don't hesitate to suggest new areas!
