H26 Consultation with the Department of Anthropology Dear Dr. Logan, It is good to hear that the PhD Dual Degree option is moving forward in African Studies. With regard to Anthropology (ANTH), there are three courses specified in your proposal. One will have to be deleted: ANTH 447. That course (Peoples and Cultures of Africa) was dropped from the list of courses last Fall Semester because it hasn't been taught since Fall 1997 (the faculty members who taught the course are no longer around). The other two courses -- ANTH 556 and 575 -- are taught regularly, although as we move downstream not necessarily every year. I should say at the outset that, practically speaking, involvement with Anthropology will likely be minimal in the foreseeable future. That is because we unfortunately don't have an Africanist on staff right now, and because of the small size of our Cultural program there won't be many Cultural Anthropology graduate students who would be available to take advantage of the dual degree. The overwhelming majority of our current graduate students are either in the Archaeology or Biological Anthropology subfields. While the occasional student in these two subfields might have reason to seek a dual degree, that won't be a regular occurrence given the existing topical and geographical areas of specialization in the department at present. I'm only saying this so you have a realistic appraisal of the likely level of substantive involvement in the near future. I hasten to add, however, that courses such as ANTH 556 and 575 cover topics of importance to your proposed program, even though they do not focus specifically on the societies of Sub-Saharan Africa. We also have some museum holdings that might be of interest to the African Studies program (mainly of exhibit, not research, significance for that geographical area). Having just returned from South Africa where I co-taught a week-long short course (in the Anatomy Department at Pretoria), I couldn't help but notice the heavy South African representation in the dual degree proposal (Institutional Collaboration). That was my first time in Sub-Saharan Africa, and it was a thoroughly enjoyable and productive experience. If I can be of further help, please let me know. Regards, George 23
H27 Consultation with the Department of Applied Linguistics Dear Dr. Logan, I met with our Director of Graduate Studies (Dr. Karen Johnson), and I have reviewed the proposal that you sent concerning the dual-title, doctoral degree program in African Studies and other disciplines. I write to say that we support this initiative, but we prefer to wait until you have approval to move forward from the Faculty Senate before we formally work out the implications for a dual-title African Studies/Applied Linguistics PhD. Please keep us apprised of your progress through senate approval. Bob Schrauf Robert W.
