Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Images of the impacts of climate change - from drowning polar bears to eroding Native villages - have dominated the media coverage of Alaska in recent years. At the same time, one must not forget that Alaska is one of the richest states of the USA, largely characterized by an "American way of life". This seminar intends to convey the cultural diversity of Alaska's past and present. Colonial history - starting with the Russian period - will receive some coverage, while prehistory will not be dealt with in any detail. The interaction of indigenous and non-indigenous societies will be a central theme of the course.Most of the course will have seminar character. It will contain an introduction to past and present cultural configurations of Alaska, including indigenous and non-indigenous groups and life-ways. Sufficient time will be reserved for student presentations and discussions.

A mandatory seminar paper will count for 50% of the grade. Short oral presentations will make up 20% of the grade; likewise one internet research presentation will count for 20% as well. The remaining 10% will be determined by course participation.
