Building on HAR’s commitment to promote scholarship and collaboration in the history of anthropology, the HAR Syllabus Project collects and publishes teaching materials related to our field. It draws attention to the crucial but often unappreciated academic work of syllabus writing, fosters conversation about pedagogy, and offers a valuable resource for developing new teaching materials, exploring the history of the field, and (re)connecting with colleagues and mentors.

If you have a syllabus you’d like to contribute, please send it to cshelburne@g.harvard.edu.
