CORE ISSUES IN ANTHROPOLOGY

ANT2CIA

2014

Credit points: 15

Subject outline

In this subject we explore the practical, theoretical and ethical advances of this vibrant discipline, from exotic Victorian beginnings to present-day engagements with globally important topics such as poverty and inequality, cultural identity and nationalism, gender-based violence and human rights. In doing so we learn how the study of culture, identity and human behaviour can be critically and meaningfully employed to positively transform the world share. We especially aim to consolidate, enhance and expand on what students have learned in first year anthropology.
