In this course, we will examine feminist theorizations, critiques, and accounts of gender and sexuality in the context of nation-state formations, colonization, globalization, and migration. We will interrogate how the gendered body becomes a target of violence, regulation, and objectification, but also functions as a site of resistance. We will also examine how the body serves as a marker nation and identity, and a locus generating knowledge, both scientific and experiential.

Food, drink, fuel, pharmaceuticals, clothing, cosmetics, construction material, furniture? Plants and their byproducts are everywhere we look. How have plants become so ubiquitous to human life? How have plants been used, adapted, processed, and sold over the course of history? How can studying plants and their interactions with humans provide a different perspective on the past, and insight into the future? This course explores how humans have made plants ?work,? and how these working plants have, in turn, shaped the world in which we live.

This course is designed to support and continue the education of the student facilitators of Grassroots Community Organizing (Anthro 380). It involves close reading and course preparation based around the curricular readings each week, as well as rigorous engagement with the texts provided by UACT?s community organizing partners. Lesson planning, commenting on student papers, written debriefs of classes, and engaging with community partners are also requirements of the course.
