on Anthropologically Connected
Joint Program in Medical Anthropology Working in collaboration with its sister program at UCSF, the Berkeley program provides comprehensive training around such topics as critical medical anthropology, studies of science, technology and modernity, as well as the intersections of medicine and social theory. Specific topics covered include: a) violence and trauma, b) genomics and ethics, c) transplantation and organ and tissue commodification, d) sexuality, gender, and the commodity form, e) geriatrics and dementia, and f) death, dying, and the politics of "bare life." The core faculty on the Berkeley side of the Joint Program form an organized research group called "Critical Studies in Medicine, Science, and the Body". The group links together medical anthropology, science and technology studies, and postcolonial and psychoanalytic anthropology. Folklore, as the humanist expression which is handed down by tradition rather than by writing, deals with the entire traditional culture of mankind as manifested in customs and beliefs. This program is designed to provide graduate students with a competent knowledge of both the materials of folklore and the various methods of studying these materials in communities around the world. Critical
Ethnographies of This research group involves professors in anthropology and allied fields interested in critical ethnographic perspectives on the processes, practices, and institutions of modernity. Too often contemporary studies of globalization are lacking in attention to the complex entanglements of political economy, rationalities, and cultural politics while, at the same time, missing a sense of 'grounded' ethnography—detailed, fine-grained explorations of the cultural practices. Courses include: Globalization, Governmentality, and Citizenship; The Analytics of Modernity; Genealogies of Political Economy and Postsocialism: Social and Cultural Transformations in the Former Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, and China; and Globalization, Medicine, and Triage: Varieties of Transhuman Experience. Berkeley Workshop on Environmental Politics The Workshop draws together faculty and doctoral students from San Francisco Bay Area institutions who share a common concern with environmental problems. It has three broad functions: a) to assist training and research regarding environmental concerns; b) to bring together constituencies of local and international scholars, activists, and policy makers for transnational conversations on environmental issues; and c) to bring community activists and policymakers to Berkeley as Residential Fellows to develop new learning and research communities. Among its programs is the the Culture and Environment Forum in which Berkeley faculty as consultants and resource persons to the Ford Foundation regional offices and their local constituencies. The Center conducts interdisciplinary research on emerging issues in international human rights and humanitarian law focusing on war crimes, justice and postwar reconstruction, health and human rights, and refugees. In respect to refugees, for example, the Center has conducted a survey of human rights abuses experienced by Kosovar refugees (with the Institute of Policy and Legal Studies in Tirana, Albania); trained human rights investigators in Indonesia in documentation skills and how to assist survivors of abuse; conducted a needs assessment of the displaced people of Srebrenica in Bosnia and Herzegovina; and studied health issues that refugees face when migrating to the United States. Institute for International Studies The Institute promotes interdisciplinary research in international, comparative, and policy studies. Its current emphasis is on: Peace and security after the Cold War; Environment, demography, and sustainable development; Development and comparative modernities across regions; and Globalization and the transformation of the global economy. As part of its outreach program, it conducts lively and unedited interviews with distinguished men and women who reminisce about their participation in the great events of our times, and they share their perspectives. Archaeological Research Facility The Facility, involving faculty members from 10 departments, is concerned with publishing reports and monographs on the results of archaeological research, developing a new program of archaeology outreach education with area schools; and sponsoring lectures and meetings throughout the academic year. Its public outreach program arranges for graduate students from U. C. Berkeley to visit classrooms and community organizations in Berkeley and Oakland where they do a short (45 minute) introduction to archaeology. These interactive presentations involve hands-on activities such as a mock-dig for younger students or showing real artifacts, tools, and slides to older students as a way of helping K-12 students develop skills for thinking critically about the past. Multimedia Authoring Center for Teaching in Anthropology The Multimedia Authoring Initiative seeks to integrate a wide range of multimedia into the teaching of anthropology, especially archaeology. As part of its outreach program, the Oakland Project brings together teachers, professors, graduate and undergraduate students, children, specialists, district personnel and volunteers in its efforts to make archaeology an important component of education. Teacher training and professional development, curriculum development and design as well as an after-school program utilize archaeology-theme activities and computer games. The interdisciplinary center supports scholarly activities over a broad range of topics that address contemporary African issues. Among areas of concern are: a) Democratization, Economic Liberalization and Civil Society, b) African Popular Culture, c) Natural Resources and Political Ecology, and d) History and Contemporary Practice in the African Diaspora. The Center encourages collaboration and dialogue with the business community with a goal of raising awareness about African economic issues and opportunities. (Haas MBA students, for example, went to Senegal to work with Hewlett-Packard, Sonatel, Senegal's telecommunications services provider, to broaden Senegalese access to social and economic opportunities through the use of the Internet). The Center also serves as a resource on Africa for the larger community including K-12 as well as post-secondary students and educators, the media, business and the general public. The center's goal is to use the academic resources of the University to promote international cultural, economic, and political understanding of Korea. Each year, the Center sponsors film festivals, colloquia, regional seminars, international conferences, and visiting lectures. It also helps build the ties between institutions of higher learning, research institutes, governmental and business agencies in Korea and the United States. In addition, the Center offers resources for K-12 teachers who are interested in learning about Korea and in introducing Korean culture, geography, history and society to their classrooms. Center for Latin American Studies Through an extensive public program and opportunities for study and exchanges abroad, the center strives to increase understanding of Latin American peoples, cultures and politics, enhance the work of UC Berkeley’s Latin Americanist community and build bridges to other institutions, groups and individuals throughout the Americas. The Center sponsors a highly regarded program of breakfast and lunch briefings for members of the business and public policy community. The Center is committed to offering workshops and events that give K-12 educators an opportunity to enhance their content knowledge and create a network of colleagues interested in Latin America. In addition, it provides content resources and lesson plans to make it easier to bring Latin Americanist curriculum to the classroom. Center for Slavic and East European Studies The Center is dedicated to the dissemination of knowledge about a region that encompasses twenty-eight states, covers eleven time zones, and extends from Central Europe in the west to Kamchatka in the east, from the Baltic states in the north to the states of Central Asia in the south. With core faculty from 13 departments and 3 professional schools, and affiliated graduate students from 21 departments and 3 professional schools at Berkeley, the Center coordinates a wide range of scholarship, outreach activities, and graduate training programs on campus. It is committed , through its outreach programs, to serving K-14 schools and teachers, the public, business and other professional groups, the U.S. military, and the U.S. government. The enter promotes faculty and graduate research, presents on-campus lecture series and cultural programs, organizes conferences, and receives visiting scholars from around the world. As part of its mission, the Center sponsors a wide array of outreach programs for both the general public and public school communities. To help meet the growing demand from the diaspora communities for relevant information about this vital region of the world, for example, the Center has participated in a range of public lectures as well as an annual conference. In addition, the Center initiates yearlong topical seminars, in-service training, curriculum development projects and summer workshops for K-12 teachers and community college faculty. Institute of East Asian Studies The Institute of East Asian Studies (IEAS) promotes teaching and research on East Asia in all disciplines and professional programs. It is the mission of the Institute to foster interaction among the academic, business, and professional communities on issues related to East Asia. The Institute participates in an annual weeklong summer institute for precollegiate educators. The Phoebe Apperson Hearst Museum The Museum contains the largest anthropological collection in the United States west of the Mississippi. In 1997 the collection totaled approximately 3.8 million items. Coverage is wide, but reflects the early emphasis of collections in California, and other portions of North America, Peru, ancient Egypt, Africa, and Oceania. Within its available resources, the Museum undertakes an active program of exhibition as well as publications and the use of the internet for public outreach. The Museum's educational programs support K-12 educational outreach (through loaned teaching kits) as well as through programs for the adult public. Each year, hundreds of school groups visit the exhibit gallery.
