CLASSROOM COURSES
INTERCESSION:
SOC 342 American Society
MTWRF 10:30 am- 12:45 pm Smith Hall 531
This
course will look at the development and current state of American institutional
structures and practices from a critical perspective. The focus will be on the
historical development of these structures and processes from the point of view
of society’s non-elites, the “people” whose history is not often told.
INT
100-301 Introduction to International Affairs
MTWRF 10:30 am- 12:45 pm Smith Hall 532
In this course we are foremost
concerned with discussing an interdisciplinary perspective on foreign affairs: a
way of looking at matters. We will discuss the connections, development and
current state of a range of different topics (trade, political institutions,
poverty, health, violence, etc.), without a focus on memorizing a particular
body of information. Doing this, we encourage each other to critically think
about how and why people live differently in different places.
SESSION 2:
ANT 323 Archaeological Field School
A unique opportunity to learn what archaeologists do in the
field – by doing it. The 3 to 6 credit-course offers hands-on experience

in an on-going research project to locate and identify prehistoric sites
in the Greenbottom area, along the Ohio River, in northern Cabell County.
