The ‘next-time’ syllabus | Savage Minds

  • The question then becomes: how to track and organize these thoughts? What mechanisms do we have to record thoughts on class planning and make sure those records get accessed the next time we plan a class.
  • On the first day of class I take the final version of the syllabus and make a duplicate copy in the folder for my class. I then add the words ‘for next time’ to the title. Then, after every class, I open up the next-time syllabus and add thoughts on how the class went, what people needed but didn’t get out of the reading, and what I might teach next time. Then the next time I teach the course, I use the next-time syllabus rather than the previous one I used.

New films for teaching anthropology | Savage Minds

  • overlapping themes of immigration, religion, and medicine, this film is well suited for classes on any of those topics.
  • What makes this film stand out from the perspective of someone teaching a course on ethnicity and identity politics is the way the director ties her own personal narrative to the larger shifts which have taken place in Norway through dialog with politicians, anthropologists, family members, etc.
