A topical survey of tribes and cultures of the world past and present. This course is designed to acquaint the beginning student with anthropology and its various subfields. It will examine the background of several cultures at different levels of development which are now undergoing the difficult process of combining their traditional ways of life with the rapid changes imposed on them by the modern world.

This course will compare several indigenous, folk, and modern societies around the world with an emphasis on European cultures, which are now undergoing the difficult and sometimes painful process of combining their ancient ways of life with changes introduced by modernization and urbanization. We will study basic institutions such as family, economy, religion, and education by examining them through different historical stages and in different geographic and ecological zones. Emphasis will be on Austrian culture. Field trips to museums, churches, castles, alpine villages, festivals and various urban institutions are planned for the course. (Required afternoon field trip to Bolzano, Italy)

Class Rules & Attendance The University of New Orleans International Summer School program has a mandatory class attendance policy. All students are required to attend class for all classes and any required lectures and field trips. No unexcused absences are allowed. However, UIBK students who have to miss a UNO class due to UIBK examinations in the first two weeks of our program, can receive one excused absence for this. Any further unexcused class days will result in an academic penalty. Each faculty member determines the penalty for missed classes. Most professors deduct a letter grade for each additional missed class day. For details, please refer to your course syllabi, which will be distributed on the first day of class.
