EAST 210 - Pastoralism Past and Present in Northeast Asia


Semester Offered: Second Semester
Credits (Range): 3 Hours
Attribute: 3 SS, CD
New Course Added 05.08.12

Nomadic pastoralism is a ‘third way’ of human subsistence separate from farming or foraging, a sustainable human adaptation to grassland environments practiced through particular technologies and domesticated animals. We will focus on the novel human ecology and social organizations that emerges from mobile ways of life drawing on modern, ethnohistorical and archaeological examples. Northeast Asian steppe pastoralism will be the central example, with additional case studies from Eurasia, North and South America and Europe. May count toward the major in Anthropology.
