Encountering cultures: Introduction to anthropology 1
ATS1255
Synopsis
Anthropologists seek understanding of how differences shape the world. They look beyond everyday explanations for realities of life and culture, and use their perceptions to create better futures for humans and their collectives. You will explore case studies in: globalisation, mobility, poverty, development, resistance, indigeneity, technology and online worlds, gender and sexuality, sex and reproduction, magic, spirituality and religion. Through these, you will be introduced to key concepts of ethnography and anthropology.
