This packet contains course materials for the University of Massachusetts Amherst class ANT 106: Culture through Film. This 100-level Cultural Anthropology class was recently redeveloped through a 2014 UMass Open Education Initiative grant and is designed to experientially engage students in the learning process without requiring the purchase of textbooks, software, or any other course materials on their part. Through discussion of paired readings and films, students explore the basic tenets of anthropological theory and analyze the cultural construction of race, class, gender, and other social categories. In addition to completing a series of papers, in-class activities and weekly quizzes, students will finally be asked to become anthropologists themselves by producing short ethnographic films to be shared with their peers and communities. Included with the course syllabus, you will here find lists of assigned articles, films, assignment and essay prompts, rubrics, and in-class activities you may draw upon for use in your own class. Because this is open access, quizzes were not included in the packet, but could easily be drawn from the assignment readings. Dates and other minor details may require modifications from year to year. By publishing these materials online, it is our hope that other instructors may benefit from the models we have developed and make use of our course materials in a spirit of educational collaboration.
