ANT 395-02 - Advanced Special Topic: Landscapes of Social Inequality

4 credits (Fall)

Social inequality is often written on the landscape as evidenced today by neighborhoods that are spatially segregated by race and class. How did dominant groups in the past use the landscape or built environment to enact social inequality based on race, class, gender, or sexuality? How did marginalized people resist these material forms of domination? This seminar engages with a range of archaeological studies to understand the relationship between power, space, and place.
