The Anthropology of Love and Sex - APY1502

Under Graduate Degree Semester module NQF level: 5 Credits: 12
Module presented in English Module presented online
Purpose: The purpose of this first year anthropology module is to introduce students to a critical approach to understanding how the concepts of love and sex relate to society in all its vagaries. A particular emphasis will be placed on Africa and the global South, although the module will not limit itself in scope. A combination of academic and popular materials will be used, both textual and digital. This module is framed as foundational for the anthropology undergraduate programme but will find currency among the other human and social sciences.
