CULTURE AND POWER: CORE ISSUES IN ANTHROPOLOGY

2020
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
In this subject we explore the practical, theoretical and ethical advances of the vibrant discipline of anthropology, 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 we share. This subject provides students tools for understanding the dynamics of change both within and through anthropological practice. Through critical inquiry, collaboration, and effective communication students will further develop their creativity capacity to critique complex socio-cultural phenomena, as well as to apply theory, locate and synthesise knowledge resources, prioritise meaningful action, and manage associated risks. This subject addresses La Trobe's Innovation and Entrepreneurship Essential.
