- Course objectives
- The course is meant to serve as a tool for accommodating those research topics that materialize in the process of designing new research projects of the department. As a lab, the relevant topics can be named only short-term. The main accent, however, will lay on media work, the popularization of anthropological content, ethics of journalism, intellectual property, cultural heritage, minority politics and topics that point to development cooperation & advocacy. By an engaged & detailed discussion the students shall gather specific insights in the complexities of archaeological work in the new millennium in a cross-cultural ambient. The course should serve as ‘think tank’ for the Department of Prehistoric Archaeology of the Near East.
