ARCH 1175 Archaeology Matters! Past Perspectives on Modern Problems [CRN: 25804]
This is not the first era to face many of today’s global problems — rising temperatures, sea-level change, sustainability, pollution, fire, water scarcity, urban blight, social violence, and more. Archaeology is more than the understanding of peoples long ago and far away, but a discipline whose long-term perspective could offer potential solutions to current crises. Through case studies and discussion of key issues, this class asks how archaeology – and archaeologists – might just have an impact on the world. Enrollment limited to 15. TTh 2:30-3:50. Instructor: John F. Cherry.

[The Syllabus for this class will also be made available in printed form at the first class meeting.]
