content: This series contains syllabi, lecture notes, handouts, and reading materials for courses that Conant taught at Columbia University; University of Amherst, Massachusetts; and Hunter College. Course topics include primitive religion, African ethnology, cultural anthropology, history of anthropological theory, sex and gender studies, and remote sensing. The bulk of the files are from his courses at Hunter College, where he spent most of his academic career. This series also contains a letter inviting Conant to join the Presidential Task Force on AIDS at Hunter College and materials relating to a colloquium at the college on AIDS in Africa and USA. This series also contains slides of the exterior and interior of houses in Aruba. These appear to pertain to his position as founder and head of Hunter College's Aruba Research Center.
