The whole class will read the ethnography, Himalayan Herders . Each student will also read a second ethnography chosen from a list which will be made available early in the semester, and write a critique on that ethnography. Students will also be doing three interviews with international students and writing reports about them. Please see the attachment to this syllabus for specifics about these interviews. Because this honors class has a limited enrollment, we will be able to take three fieldtrips this semester.
Students have a choice of doing all three or doing two and writing a report on each of the two.
