Anthropology co-sponsors the 2007 Civil Rights Symposium

The Department of Anthropology will participate in and co-sponsor the 2007 Civil Rights Symposium at the University of New Mexico scheduled for Friday, September 28 in the Sub Ballroom C. The theme of UNM Civil Rights Symposium is “40 Years of Community Activism, 1967-2007: Civil Rights Reform, Then and Now.” Dr. Henry Cisneros will deliver the key note address, “The 1967 Cabinet Committee Hearings on Mexican American Affairs & Civil Rights Reform: 40 Years Later” followed by closing remarks by Dr. Vicente Ximenes. The event will feature roundtable discussion panels from UNM scholars in Women’s Studies, African American Studies, Native American Studies, and Chicano Studies examining civic activism and civil rights reform over the past forty years. 

The year 1967 was a watershed moment for civil rights activism in the United States. The historic Cabinet Committee Hearings on Mexican American Affairs organized and directed by Dr. Vicente Ximenes in October 1967 in El Paso, Texas represented a critical moment of civic inclusion. Dr. Vicente Ximenes, commissioner of EEOC and the Inter-Agency of Mexican American Affairs invited Chicano activists in dialogue with members of President Lyndon B. Johnson's cabinet.

Dr. Henry Cisneros, current chairman of CityView Housing, is former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (1993-1997), four-term mayor of San Antonio (1981-1989), and former president of Univision (the nation’s fifth largest TV network).  Dr. Cisneros was named White House Fellow in 1972, the same year that former President Lyndon B. Johnson hosted the first Civil Rights Symposium at the University of Texas, Austin that included Dr.Vicente Ximenes and other prominent civil rights activists. Dr. Cisneros holds Masters and Doctoral degrees from Texas A&M, Harvard, and George Washington Universities.

Among his recent publications is a particularly major article synthesizing what is known about the Ice Age rock art (both cave and open-air) of the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal).  This article, a first summarizing this rich, famous and dynamic rock art record in English, was written in collaboration with Spanish and Portuguese specialists: Cesar Gonzalez Sainz (Universidad de Cantabria, Santander), Valentin Villaverde (Universidad de Valencia), Jose Luis Sanchidrian (Universidad de Cordoba), Nuno Bicho and Antonio Carvalho (Universidade do Algarve, Faro).  It appeared in a special issue on Paleolithic art of the Journal of Archaeological Method & Theory in March.

New Fall Course: Nutritional Health & Evolution

ANTH 364-010, CRN 28297
8/20 - 10/13/07
Nutritional Health & Evolution  - 3 credit hours
TR 2:00-4:30 held at UNM West
(call 925-8686 for directions)
Taught by John Wagner

This course explores the critical and often underappreciated role of nutrition on our health and well-being. The intimate relationship between organisms and their food supply will be traced from early life forms to modern humans before taking a “cradle to the grave” perspective as we review the direct relationship between diet and a host of conditions including fetal growth, weight gain, cognitive development, vascular disease, cancer, diabetes & aging processes among others. The consequences of major dietary transitions will be covered along with a critical evaluation of the standard American diet, its production of disease-like symptoms, and the role of government and industry in setting the nation’s dietary agenda. Finally, we consider the effects of globalization and the industrialization of food production that is impacting the health of our food and the environment. A final creative project allows you to communicate some of what you have learned to a wider audience.

New Fall Course:Perspectives in Human Ecology

Perspectives in Human Ecology - a New Course ANTH 450 031, CRN 28257   This class develops large scale perspectives in human ecology in an exciting interdisciplinary environment. We explore patterns in the diversity and organization of human societies of the past and present. We'll study how humans alter the biogeographic patterns of other species as well as examine how human trends of genetic and linguistic diversity compare to other diversity patterns. Effort will be made to place the macrecological perspective on the patterns and processes identified during the semester within the context of sustainability and conservation.

The class is intended for upper division undergraduate students, especially those who are highly motivated and considering the pursuit of post-graduate education. The course will be taught as a seminar augmented with occasional lectures and guest speakers. This is an exciting and burgeoning field and a great chance to become acquainted with this novel perspective and the rapidly developing body of literature that goes with it.  

Time: Tuesday and Thursday, 9:30 - 10:45 Place: Castetter Hall (Biology building), room 258   The class will be taught by Oskar Burger and two colleagues who are ecologists in the biology department. It is cross-listed with the Biology department.   Please contact oskar@unm.edu with any questions
