(syllabus)
This course is an introduction to ethno- anthropological demography and to the quali-qualitative studies of human population processes (i.e. fertility, mortality, and migration) with a holistic approach. Anthropological demography differs from formal demography in that it examines demographic dynamics in the context of a wide range of social, cultural, economic, and ecological variables. The target of the course of Demo-Ethno-Anthropological disciplines is to prepare a new generation of students to be able to cope with different situations working in national and international organizations operating in the field. The course provides an interdisciplinary approach to human-environment relations with diverse methodological skills and capacities. During the course many topics will be afforded. The topics will be related to demography, ethnology and anthropology. We will discuss globalization, major environmental changes. Topics involved include kinship, marriage, household organization, gender system, political economy, ecology and so forth.
