ANTH 50.62 The Archaeology of Work

Moving chronologically (roughly), students will learn about the diverse ways that people in the past organized themselves to meet basic needs, complete collective projects, and develop new technologies. We will also use the past to analyze some of the concepts that define modern life, including gendered divisions of labor, the relationship between class/caste/race and occupation, the separation of “work” and “home”, the predominance of wage labor, and alienation and burnout.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
