What is ANTH3006 about?

This unit examines contemporary theory and practice in anthropology and sociology, specifically in the anthropology and sociology of public problems. These focus on the construction of a public problem and its conversion from private concern to public issue. Public problems can range from concerns over the global economic recession, climate change and terrorism to those of obesity, cigarette smoking, town planning or graffiti. Students will consider several research projects in order to develop a reflexive awareness of contemporary anthropological and sociological practices and methods. This unit also involves undertaking a project which may be textually based and/or involve the collection and analysis of empirical materials.
