| Purpose: The purpose of this module is to introduce students to the varied potential of anthropology as an applied field, its historical context, current debates and ethical issues in the field. This module guides students to understand the nature of applied anthropology, the anthropological approach to perspectives on problem solving strategies, and socio-cultural issues to which anthropology is most commonly applied in real-world situations. This module resonates with work done by for example the World Bank, or the World Health Organisation, government departments that provide social services. |
