Chair: Rachel Heiman heimanr@newschool.edu

The SANA Syllabi Project is a work in progress. The links below are now active, though we are continuing to refine the content for syllabi. We welcome contributions from graduate and undergraduate courses incorporating anthropological perspectives on North America, its inhabitants, and their cultures and histories. Ideally, the webpage will grow over time, to become a resource and forum for interested scholars and teachers.

Please forward electronic versions of syllabi to Rachel Heiman.
