Intensive Language Study: Quechua 100 Required. Students are required to take either a Quechua or Spanish course.
Students are required to take the following two courses taught by Professor Lizarralde:
ANT 224: Ethnology of Peruvian People. The course explores the ethnological literature about the richness of Peruvian cultures and the mainly indigenous peoples living in the Cusco region. The main objective is to provide students with an overview and understanding of peoples and their culture. Special focus will be given to the Incas, Quechua, Kampas and Matsiguenka for the Peru SATA Fall ’05 program.
BOT/ES 213 / ANT 313: Ethnoecology of the Peruvian People. The course provides an introduction to the study of the relationship of Peruvian people with their environment. We will explore indigenous people’s perception, knowledge and uses of animals and plants, and their relationships to their environment in the past as well as with the present. Special focus will be given on the ethnoecological richness of the Peruvian Southern Andes and the South Eastern mountain forest.
