Thinking Like an Anthropologist (820L6)

30 credits, Level 7 (Masters)

Autumn teaching

On this module, you'll explore the social theories that have shaped anthropology and apply them to historical and contemporary ethnographies. You'll develop the theoretical tools needed to analyse transformations in social relations and anthropology as a discipline, supporting your MA research and beyond.

The module begins by revisiting classical sociological theories through critical, feminist and decolonial lenses, examining topics such as:

• modernisation and precarity
• labour transformations and sustainability
• political organisation, governance and contestation
• networks of exchange, commoditisation and care
• globalisation and religious life.
