| Summary | This course introduces students to anthropological practice outside academia, helps students understand potential career routes after anthropology honours, and the ways in which anthropological knowledge and skills relates to careers outside academia. The course includes a variety of presentations from alumnai and applied anthropologists.
The course will introduce students to issues around 'applied' and 'public anthropology'. Broadly speaking, applied anthropology takes anthropological skills and insights, and puts them to work in other fields of work. Public anthropology is often seen as using anthropological insights to make contributions to wider public debates. |
