Another question

[Ronald Kephart]

All:

I am the only teaching linguist on this campus; however, my degree is
in anthropology and I'm a "linguistic anthropologist" (I guess). We
have no major or minor in "linguistics," and only a couple of courses
with the "LIN" prefix, one of which I've taught nearly every semester
since 1990. These courses have for years been housed in the English
department.

Now, this semester I moved from the English department, where I'd
been since 1989, to Sociology, Anthropology, & Criminal Justice (yea,
I'm no longer a closet anthropologist!). The question is, is there
any outside reason (i.e some reason other than internal bureaucratic
inertia) why these courses couldn't follow me to my new department
and retain the "LIN" prefix?

Can "LIN" courses be housed in anthropology?

Ron
