What can archaeology tell us about the world we live in and all of its complexities? Normally seen as a discipline to explore the deep past, what can archaeology tell us about the recent past? Over the past twenty years, archaeologists have turned their methods towards the study of the material culture of the contemporary world. These scholars have used archaeological techniques to study undocumented migrants, mass graves, homelessness, and numerous other nontraditional archaeological sites that highlight issues of power, violence, poverty, and vulnerability in contemporary society.

This course explores women?s health from an evolutionary, biocultural, and global health perspective. It focuses on the physiological, ecological, and cultural factors shaping health. We will take a life course perspective to examine childhood development, reproductive processes such as pregnancy, birth, and lactation, as well as menopause and aging. Throughout the class, we will draw on findings and concepts from human biology, evolutionary ecology, public health and medical anthropology to explore the multi-faceted determinants of global women?s health.

This practicum allows students to explore any topic within anthropology and delve into it deeper with the ultimate goal of presenting it through a podcast format. Students will participate in all aspects of creating a podcast all about anthropology.
