Offered each semester. A topical survey of tribes and cultures of the world past and present. This course is designed to acquaint the beginning student with anthropology and its various subfields. It will examine the background of several cultures at different levels of development which are now undergoing the difficult process of combining their traditional ways of life with the rapid changes imposed on them by the modern world.

Case studies of several traditional cultures from different areas of the world will explore fundamental aspects of culture as well as some modern cultural changes. These changes may include globalization (of food, dress, transportation, communication, pollution, etc.); climate change; world wars; nuclear power; tourism; immigration; and/or etc.

The UNO Innsbruck course will place special emphasis on Tyrolean culture. Students will participate in local fieldtrips to witness the effects of cultural changes firsthand. They will also create a photo journal on one aspect of contemporary Tyrolean culture.

The University of New Orleans International Summer School program has a mandatory class attendance policy. All students are required to attend class for all morning classes and any required afternoon and/or weekend fields trips and lectures. No unexcused absences are allowed. However, LFU students who have to miss a UNO class due to LFU examinations in the first two weeks of our program, can receive one excused absence for this. Any further unexcused absences will result in an academic penalty. Each faculty member determines the penalty for missed classes. Most professors deduct a letter grade for each additional missed class day. For details, please refer to your course syllabi, which will be distributed on the first day of class. The listed ECTS credits are a recommendation by the University of New Orleans Innsbruck Summer School, based on contact hours, anticipated out-of-classroom requirements such as field trips, and projected workload for readings, assignments, and exam preparation.

Students are required to attend two UNO – Innsbruck sponsored fieldtrips: South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology (containing Otzi, the Ice Man) and the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site.
