From graff at uwosh.edu Fri Aug 3 11:01:57 2007 From: graff at uwosh.edu (Jennifer Graff) Date: Fri, 03 Aug 2007 11:01:57 -0500 Subject: [International] ANTHROPOLOGY Message-ID: <0JM700LW6GJAOV20@callisto.uwosh.edu> Dear International Listserv Members: I just received a copy of the course description for Introduction to Anthropology (SS) (Anthropology 102) and thought I would share it with you. This would be a wonderful course to help prepare for a study abroad experience or as a follow-up to a study abroad experience. Anthropology is the study of humankind. It is a broad discipline that seeks to develop a holistic understanding of what it means to be human, by examining the biological, cultural, and linguistic aspects of human beings. Anthropology consists of four major subfields that contribute to this integration of knowledge in different ways: 1) physical anthropology, 2) archeology, 3) sociocultural anthropology, and 4) linguistic anthropology. Physical anthropologists examine human beings from a biological perspective, using genetics, studies of nonhuman primates, and examinations of fossils to understand the evolution of human biology and behavior. Archeologists examine humanity's past, from how human beings have spread across the globe to the development of agriculture and complex societies, often through the study of human-made artifacts. Sociocultural anthropologists study living human cultures, often by living with members of another culture, and in the process document the incredible diversity of human cultural practices, lifeways, and belief systems. Linguistic anthropologists study human language, including the evolution and distribution of languages and the function and use of language in human societies. This course will provide an overview of these four subfields and will also examine how anthropologists conduct their work and why this work is relevant. Students should emerge from this course with a deeper understanding of what it means to be human, and an increased understanding and appreciation of the diversity of humankind.

Message-ID: <0JN5003DC63KLP00@callisto.uwosh.edu> Dear International & Intl Listserv Members: One of our partners in Peru sent the following message on how to help Peruvians affected the recent (and ongoing) earthquakes there. If you have been looking for a way to donate, please read on. _____ From: Happy Tours - Peru [mailto:tours at happyperu.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 21, 2007 2:44 PMTo: nuestros amigosSubject: How we can help Peru... Dear friends: Thanks for all your mails expressing your thoughts and moral support. We really appreciate it. Most of you have been asking how you can help. Well, the earthquake of August 15, has left 34,000 families without a home, more than 1,000 wounded, countless others severely injured that had to be evacuated to Lima, and more than 500 dead. The most affected are the people of Pisco, Chincha, and Ica. They need our support. They need blood, coats, food, tents, water and money. One way to help is with money through Peruvian organizations that are working in the affected areas or through the North American organizations that have opened exclusive bank accounts for helping Peru. If you would like to help with food or other items, it would be appreciated, but you must also consider that the cost of transportation of this help to Peru is going to be more in some cases, than the price of the item you are donating. That is why a monetary donation is the best way to help. How to actually help? The Peruvian embassy in Washington DC has opened a bank account at HSBC Bank. The info for this account is at the end of the communication. Embassy of Peru:Account Name: "Embassy of Peru - Sismo Peru 2007"Account Number: 389060178ROUTING NUMBER: 021001088BANK ADDRESS: HSBC Bank , USA , NA1130 Connecticut Avenue, NW.Washington DC 20036 or by sending your donation by check to: Name: "Embassy of Peru - Sismo Peru 2007" Address: Embassy of Peru1700 Massachusetts Ave. NWWashington DC 20036 One organization that has been working on-site since the very first minute is Caritas Peru. They have a good distribution system through the parrishes. Eventhough it belongs to the Catholic Church, they give help no matter the religion. They have opened an account in Miami: For Caritas Peru: (www.caritas.org.pe)Account Name: "Emergencia por los damnificados del Terremoto en Pisco, Ica y Canete"BANCO DE CREDITO MIAMIAccount Number: 201030010003521ABA: 067015355SWIFT: BCPLUS33 Finally, another alternative to make a donation is through North American charity organizations that have established specific accounts for the victims of the earthquake. These are: a. Unicef: www.unicefusa.orgb. Save the Children: www.savethechildren.orgc. Oxfam America: www.oxfamamerica.orgd. America Cares: www.americares.orge. IR Teams: www.irteams.org These organizations have already created a fund for our country, so you have to be sure you are specifying a donation for the victims of the earthquake in Peru. We would appreciate if you send this letter to your friends, so they can also help. Thank you very much, A. Augusto Chian P.S.

With students from over 65 nations and approximately half of all faculty from overseas, students attending Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University (APU) can enjoy a unique environment which serves as a host for perspectives from around the world. APU is one of the few universities in Japan offering lectures in both English and Japanese. Students who have not previously studied Japanese may pursue subjects in their major fields and areas of interest in English, while those who have studied Japanese at the advanced level may take courses in Japanese. APU also offers courses in intensive Japanese, interpreting/translation, media Japanese, teaching of Japanese as a foreign language and business Japanese. While APU offers intensive Japanese, it is important to understand that it is located at the top of a mountain with limited access to town. Students studying at APU spend most of their time with other APU students and choose APU for the international environment it provides.
