Major Description
In the Anthropology major you will study the diversity of human cultures in order to answer fundamental human questions like: What is it that makes us human? How do culture and society work? What can we do to make the world a safer and happier place in which to live, for ourselves and for each other? Taking an Anthropology major will train you to analyse local and global cultural differences and social contexts, conflicts and inequalities, and to use engaged and practical methods to understand and positively transform the world locally and globally. In the Anthropology major you will be taught by scholars who work in diverse geographical areas, including Australia, Asia and the Pacific. You will be able to study topics including Aboriginal Australia, digital and online anthropology, kinship, childhood and youth, human-animal interactions, sorcery and witchcraft, popular culture, food and drink, health, development and the environment. You will develop anthropological research skills, learn about ethics and be given the opportunity to undertake fieldwork. The Anthropology major will give you a solid grounding in skills that are relevant to careers in anthropology, local government, domestic and international NGOs, social services and public policy, community health, market research, education and training, native title research, conflict resolution, museum curation and cultural heritage management.
