           course investigates the interaction between the environment and human 
          behaviors and beliefs. Students will be introduced to the various ways 
          in which anthropology has sought to understand human-environment 
          relations, both from utilitarian perspectives 
          (such as cultural ecology, ethno-ecology, and political ecology) and
           symbolic ones (focused on the meanings people give to the non-human 
          world). In the second half of the course, students will consider how 
          anthropology can contribute to the way we understand current 
          environmentalist concerns and beliefs, focusing on applied anthropology 
          in Maryland.

          distinctive peoples understandings of gender and sexuality.  Lectures 
          focus on basic principles by which to examine gender in cross-cultural
