DANIEL A. SEGAL, Jean M. Pitzer Professor of Anthropology and Professor of Historical Studies & Director of the Munroe Center for Social Inquiry at Pitzer College.  

 

In the spring of 2010, I am teaching two courses:

 

• CAPITALISM IN QUESTION (because it is), a seminar for Student Fellows of the Munroe Center for Social Inquiry at Pitzer College.

• The World Since 1492, a historical-anthropological survey of modern world history.

 

 

 

 

Other courses I teach on a regular basis include The Sixties, Schooling, and History of Anthropological Theory.

For information about my scholarship, see both my cv and this entry in The Biographical Dictionary of Social and Cultural Anthropology.

As part of a broader commitment to "telling the truth about history," I advocate the redesign of the U.S. twenty-dollar bill so that the words "ANDREW JACKSON WAS AN INDIAN KILLER" are printed next to Jackson's portrait.  This proposal seeks to increase public awareness of Jackson's horrendous actions, rather than taking the route of removing what is controversial from the public sphere.
