ANTH 1797 - MOUNTAINS AND MEDICAL SYSTEMS
Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
India is a social, political and economic environment in which a broad range of South Asian medical systems have grown and developed over the course of several years. In the past 150 years these systems have been institutionalized and professionalized within the framework of colonial and national medical and public health policy. Many of these systems are intimately connected to the environment, and to the conceptualization, categorization, production and consumption of natural resources. This course focuses on non-biomedical systems of medicine: Ayurveda, Unani, siddha, Tibetan medicine, yoga and nature cure and homeopathy, as each one of these is supported and regulated by the government of India. The purpose of the course is not to evaluate the effectiveness or medical value of these systems; it is to understand how these medical systems fit into a range of social, political, ecological, botanical and economic contexts. Given that a number of these medical systems are intimately linked to Himalayan botanical and environmental knowledge, the course will focus on the relationship between South Asian medical systems and mountain ecology.

ANTH 1798 - RELIGION AND ECOLOGY
Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
The Himalayas have inspired more religious thought, given rise to more forms of religious practice and are more distinctively featured in a spectrum of epic religious literature, than almost any other geographic region in the world, with the possible ’ but unlikely `exception of a small parcel of relatively dry hilly ground between Jerusalem and mecca. In any case, Siddhartha Gautham was born and taught in the shadow of the lower Himalayas, where Buddhism emerged in the 4th century BCE. Many specific mountains, lakes and rivers, as well as the broader geography of the Himalayas ’ most notably sacred rivers ’ define the landscape of Hindu mythology, pilgrimage and ritual. The practice of yoga as a metaphysical philosophy is intimately linked to the idea of mystical Himalayan masters. The Western watershed of the Punjab, including the iponymous five rivers ’ Indus, Jhelum, Chenab, RAVI and Sutlej ’ is the heartland of Sikh cultural and religious identity. In addition to being a center of medieval Hindu literary learning, Kashmir and the Western Himalayas, extending through the Hindu Kush, have defined routes of exchange, communication, conversion and confrontation between Greeks, Persians, Buddhist monks, and Mongol armies. More recently ’ in terms of centuries ’ Tibetan Buddhism has emerged out of a history of development in Lhasa ’ relocated to McLeod Ganj in the early 1960s ‘- that combines elements of tantra from the southeastern Brahmaputra region with transmutations of Buddhism that have taken shape in greater china. Although not inspired by the Himalayas per se, Islam in South Asia has been shaped by geography and the environment in specific ways, and the development of a particular interpretation of the Koran in a small center of learning in the town of Deobandi ’ close to where the epic battle of the Bhargava Gita is said to have been waged in Kurukshetra ’ implicates the geography and geopolitics of the Himalayas in the emergence of reform oriented, Orthodox Islam.

ANTH 1799 - HIMALAYAN POLITICAL ECOLOGY
Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
The Himalayan region is characterized by dramatic climatic and geological variation, a tremendous range of biodiversity and a complex ecology. Within the region there is also profound cultural variation. This course seeks to provide a critical perspective on the ecology and environment of the Himalayas by examining how different groups at the village, state, national and international level are implicated in the political ecology of the mountains. We will look at the way in which village farming communities use natural resources, what kind of pressure is put on resources as a result of development and population growth, how the mountain environment shapes the politics and resource distribution at the level of the state and, finally, how environmental and energy issues shape national policy and international relations.

ANTH 1801 - HIMALAYAN BIODIVERSITY
Minimum Credits: 3

Ranging in altitude from several hundred meters above sea level to over seven thousand, from subtropical forests to high altitude meadows and deserts, and from areas with little or no rainfall to regions that are among the wettest in the world, the Himalayas define a geographical region of enormous geological variation and biodiversity. The goal of this course is to gain an understanding of this diversity, with a focus on ecology. More specifically we will examine ecology and ecosystems in terms of biosemiotics ’ how and why organisms within an ecological niche communicate with one another, and how these patterns and structures of communication define different kinds of interdependence. Within the framework of standard classificatory schemes ’ mammals, birds, reptiles, insects ’ we will focus on particular species and specific niche systems for more detailed biosemiotic/behavioral analysis.
