Proposals for new courses and course changes:

COLLEGE OF HUMANITIES AND FINE ARTS

1. Department of Anthropology and Geography

a. ANTH 317 Gullah Culture and Identity

Proposed revision(s): course change. (Form A – ID# 1278)

Course Action(s): Considered for the QEP: Yes; all sections will be designated experiential

learning in the catalog.

Proposed catalog description: ANTH 317 Q Gullah Culture and Identity. (3) Understanding

the Gullah-Geechee community is crucial to understanding ethnic identity construction in the

United States, particularly in the South. This course examines the culture and identity of Gullah-

Geechee culture in the United States by exploring issues and concepts pertaining to African

retentions, creolization, and hybridity. It specifically interrogates how historical developments,

such as Slavery, rice farming, and isolation from mainland USA gave rise to the Gullah-Geechee

culture. We will also explore the connections between Africa (particularly West Africa), the

Caribbean, and Gullah-Geechee culture by exploring linguistic practices, foodways, folk rituals,

gender, and spiritual beliefs. Ultimately, this course will enable students to engage in experiential

learning by allowing them to use anthropological research methods and skills to conduct

ethnographic research in the Gullah-Geechee community. F, S, Su.

c. HIST 491 History of American Foreign Policy


Course Action(s): Other: HIST 491 does not currently appear in the undergraduate course catalog.

We do not wish for it to appear in the catalog. But we recently discovered that HIST 491 and POLI

491 are still cross-listed in Datatel/Registrar's records. These courses should not be cross-listed.

Please remove the cross-listing. POLI 491 is currently listed in the undergraduate course catalog

under the title "Topics in Government and International Studies." The course description does not

indicate that it is cross-listed with HIST 491. We checked with the Department of Politics: Politics,

too, does not want these courses cross-listed. This appears to be some kind of strange hold-over to

an earlier era that never got properly fixed. History and Politics would like to fix this oversight

now. Thank you for your help with this odd situation.
