Bachelor of Arts (Anthropology)

Description of the Programme

Anthropology is the study of people and examines what it means to be human in a wide range of places and contexts: from the study of popular culture to material culture, social relations, public health policies, languages, art, music, architecture and the world’s religions. Students will get an in-depth understanding of humans and the human condition – past, present and the future. You will learn how to study people and how communities and organizations work.  Anthropology has been used to address some of society’s most compelling questions on gender, war, racism, discrimination and other divisions of power. The study of Anthropology is today widely acknowledged in developmental circles as a crucial subject in the development of any nation. Anthropologists are now being called upon to use their anthropological skills and training in order to address various changelles and problems in development. For instance, they have been called upon to explain why certain projects fail to achieve their goals. Success in the 21^st century requires a clear understanding of evolutionary foundations and cultural diversity of human behavior within an increasingly interdependent and interconnected world. Anthropology is particularly well suited to give this perspective through its holistic approach to understanding humanity across time and space. What we know about the future marketplace indicates a need for the type of invaluable, holistic and global knowledge that an anthropological perspective brings. You will cover Archeological Anthropology; Urban Anthropology; Anthropology of Tourism; Cultural Anthropology; Comparative Ethnography; Political Anthropology; Physical Anthropology; Forensic Anthropology; Linguistic Anthropology; Ecological Anthropology; the Anthropology of Mass Media; Demographic Anthropology; Culture, Technology and Information Systems; Anthropology of Conservation and Natural Resource Management; etc.
