Friend of TFN, David J., wrote in with the following:
"I am writing on behalf of the Anthropology Society at Lake Tahoe Community College in Lake Tahoe, CA. Our professor, Daryl Frazetti, who speaks at conventions on the anthropology of Star Wars will be teaching a summer class for Kids College - Creatures and Cultures of Star Wars and Star Trek. Also, a new Winter course will be coming online - January 2009 - Anthropology of Star Wars...Contact for information: frazetti@ltcc.edu."
Thanks David!

Course Description Warp into adventure with your favorite Star Trek & Star Wars characters. This fun and informative course will use the force to help guide travelers to strange new worlds where they will seek out and study the lives of such aliens as Klingons, Ferengi, Vulcans, Wookies, Ewoks, Jedi, and more. We will explore their foods, languages, behaviors and technologies. Be sure to beam aboard and be a part of these intergalactic travels. (15 students maximum)
Here is a course description for the Winter online Anthropology of Star Wars:
This course introduces students to the politics, philosophy, multiculturalism, and historical and cultural context of Star Wars. Using film episodes and other select audio and video media clips, this course will examine the various social, political, and religious themes within the Star Wars universe. Other cultural themes covered also include capitalism, the concept of "race", feminism, and the fetishization of objects. Core concepts in cultural anthropology will be introduced and discussed through the analysis of films, books, articles, the role of mythology, Jediism, and the subculture of Star Wars fandom.
Thanks again David!
