Subject outline

Have you ever wondered how you can achieve positive change in your community and others? How can we use social scientific approaches to bring about meaningful positive change at a local level? How do different people across different social contexts understand, value and work to bring about such change themselves? ANT1TLC combines primary anthropological methods with those of diversely related disciplines, including Sustainability and Development Studies, Aboriginal Studies, Gender Studies, Politics and Sociology. This subject is suitable as an elective for all students.
