ARCH 428 — Human Diversity, Peace and Conflict Management
Archaeology and Heritage Studies · University of Ghana
The course deals with variability in human biology and culture on the basis of available archaeological and ethnographic evidence. The concepts of ethnicity, pluralism, conflict, peace, and settlement patterns will be defined. Examples will be drawn from selected groups of people to enable the student to understand and appreciate how variations and similarities in cultures have been engendered by environmental changes, and by human-made events such as the quest for resources, slavery, colonization trends, commerce and religious activity. Indigenous conflict management strategies of the selected groups, as well as commonalities in the cultures of different groups, which could foster harmony and peaceful coexistence will also be studied.
