課程名稱：農業人類學 (Agrarian Anthropology). 
<br>課程時間：週三9:00-12:00
<br>授課地點：清大人類所303室
<br>授課教師：黃樹民
<br>
<br>課程簡介：
<br>本課關注的重點，就是一般所稱的「三農問題」：「農民」做為一個社會階級，及其所具有的特殊屬性；「農村」做為一種生活方式，及其蘊涵的價值理念；「農業」做為一種生計手段或職業，及其相關的策略考量。為能涵蓋人類學上廣義的三農問題，本課教材包括各種相關學科的研究成果。閱讀材料除傳統民族誌外，還包括考古學、生態學、植物學、農學、社會學、政治經濟學等，以便能呈現出一完整、且能比較的框架，做為透視未來的起點。
<br>
<br>課程要求：
<br>碩士班研究生需在上課前讀完「指定閱讀材料」 (Assigned Readings)。博士班研究生除「指定閱讀材料」外，還需讀完「參考閱讀材料」(Recommended Readings)。課程進入第六周時，上課同學就應選定一個學期報告題目，並在課堂簡報。此學期報告題目可針對一理論問題進行討論，或對一當代議題從事田野調查。
