Building on HAR’s commitment to promote scholarship and collaboration in the history of anthropology, the HAR Syllabus Collection publishes teaching materials related to our field. It fosters conversation about pedagogy and offers new ways to develop teaching materials, explore the history of the field, and (re)connect with colleagues and mentors.
The Syllabus Collection currently includes basic citational data and downloadable PDF versions of each syllabus. At the top of the page, you’ll find an annotated bibliography of syllabi with abstracts and links to related pieces. Below, you’ll find the same list that can be filtered by tag for different audiences (graduate or undergraduate) and different course formats (survey, seminar, lecture). To download a syllabus, click the “Download” button next to the citation.
If you have a syllabus you’d like to contribute, please send it to syllabi@histanthro.org.
