This innovative course combines a strong interdisciplinary foundation with a specialist anthropological lens in the study of international development. Youll take core modules that seek to understand critical contemporary issues from an anthropological perspective including poverty, inequality, gender, corruption and conflict focusing specifically on the diversity of peoples and cultures, and how different social relationships, structures and beliefs around the world can shape lives and processes of social change. Youll develop practical skills in key anthropological methods, and you will have the opportunity to study material culture in the world-renowned Sainsburys Centre. <br><br>In addition to this anthropological focus, youll gain a broad grounding in the key issues, organisations and practices of development, fusing insights from anthropology with those from across the social sciences, including economics, environmental sciences, geography, media, and politics. You can develop your understanding of particular regions in the world, through area modules relating to sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, or Latin America, and you can pursue your emerging interests in other aspects and perspectives of development.
