ANTH 313 - Applied Anthropology

(3.00)

Applied Anthropologists employ the theories and methods of anthropology to address practical problems and social issues in cultural context. Applied anthropologists often have the goal of improving the lives and well-being of human groups worldwide and attend to issues of inequality and social justice. This course explores how anthropologists use an anthropological lens to analyze and intervene on a range of issues, which may include discussions of international development, women¿s rights, education policy, and/or health care. Applied Anthropology explores theories of practice, common methods used and refined by applied anthropologists, and the ethical debates surrounding applied work. In addition, students examine how understandings of culture, subjectivity, and sociohistorical experience can help inform interventions and policy.
