Emphasis throughout is on bridging the academic perspective of the classroom with the practical concerns of different communities. This will be a traveling seminar, moving between the classroom and the world outside. Our class may meet at the site of a labor, senior, or other community organization, hosted by a representative of that organization. Other weeks, the organizers will come to us. Students have the option of participating in a service-learning project and reflecting on the connections between assigned readings and the practice of organizing. Our central question will be: what can the social-action organizations of the past and present teach us about the possibilities for progressive social change in our world today? 

• AMST-A 354 Literature of Rock 'N Roll (3 cr.) What constitutes the literature of rock music? Some would say that a three-paragraph review of the latest CD in Rolling Stone is the best and perhaps only example. But what about the countless books, essays, articles and other extended works that have been written about this music? How (and why?) is it possible, for example, to use rock music as the framework for a written discourse on American history (and in such discourse, suggest a logical, relevant connection between Abraham Lincoln and Elvis Presley?) How could an extended review of a rock 'n' roll album transform itself (logically and correctly) into first-rate political and social commentary? All of these questions and many more will be addressed in this course, as we explore the "written word of rock 'n' roll" in all its wonderfully complex and fascinating permutations.

• AMST-A 356 American Supernatural (3 cr.)

  Belief in the supernatural has been an important component of American culture since the founding of the country. From the Salem Witch Trials to The Amityville Horror and from the stories of Edgar Allen Poe to the television series Lost, there seems to be no limit to Americans appetite for myths and legends that deal with the fantastic, otherworldly or otherwise unbelievable. This course will examine several aspects of this cultural fascination with the supernatural, from the mystery of "Area 51" to the legends of the delta blues singers. Along the we'll examine larger questions, such as: Why is belief in the supernatural of continuing relevance to American culture? How does the popular and new media (especially the Internet) perpetuate this belief, and is there a danger in doing so? To what extent are the American character and its definition of identity shaped by the belief in the supernatural?  

• AMST-A 363 American Cyber Identity (3 cr.)

  This course examines the blurred lines between not just the physical and virtual world, but our physical and virtual selfidentification. It considers challenging questions-and intriguing possibilities-about how we define ourselves when the physical, spatial and temporal limitations of "the real world" are lifted. It will look at the processes or strategies we use to define ourselves as we spend more time online by means of increasingly sophisticated technology, what level of importance are we giving to our sense of American selfidentity in the online world (from a historical, social and cultural perspective)? Is it possible to interpret the Constitution to help adjudicate virtual "property disputes"? Are the rights of avatars "self-evident"? And, when we "jack in" (to borrow a term from Gibson¿s Neuromancer) to the Internet, how much of our American history and culture do we take with us?

• ANTH-B 468 Bioarchaeology (3 cr.) Bioarchaeology introduces students to the interdisciplinary field that asks- what can we learn from the analysis of human skeletal remains from archaeological sites? As such, bioarchaeology is the contextual analysis of human remains. Skeletal and dental tissues are often overlooked as being innate and unchanging, when in fact they respond to the external environment and stressors like soft tissues that exist within and around them. The natural and built environments can have a profound impact on human biological variation. As a result, bioarchaeological research emphasizes biocultural interactions and the impact of culture on the human condition (and vice versa). Topics covered in this class include demography, health, growth and development, diet, infectious and non-infectious diseases, occupational markers of stress, migration, and population affinity. The course starts with a historical survey of the field, moves into a discussion of ethics in bioarchaeological research, and introduces important theoretical considerations that influence practice in the subdiscipline. Two subsequent weeks will be spent reviewing basic human osteology, age and sex estimation, and taphonomic factors that can influence and, ultimately, bias research findings. Weeks 6 through 16 will be spent surveying the core areas of investigation in contemporary bioarchaeological research. The lectures and discussions will be supplemented with time in the laboratory, during which students will have the opportunity to examine, describe, score, and analyze human remains, as well as interpret bioarchaeological data.

P: junior/senior standing required Forensic Anthropology introduces students to the sub-discipline of Biological Anthropology that addresses human skeletal remains recovered during medico-legal investigations. Forensic Anthropology is an inherently applied field within Anthropology and compliments the focus of IUPUI's Department of Anthropology. Forensic anthropologists are often consulted in investigations when a visual identification of human remains cannot be made by a medical examiner or law enforcement. The goals of a forensic anthropologist's involvement in medico- investigations often includes excavation and recovery (i.e., forensic archaeology), estimation of the post-mortem interval, the construction of a biological profile (e.g., age-at-death, sex, stature, etc.), positive identification, and providing conclusions and an opinion about the cause and manner of death.
