The Department of Anthropology is pleased to launch this new work-placement course in the 2017-18 academic year. The course aims to give students hands-on experience in applying their ethnographic skills. Applied Anthropology uses the theory and methods of anthropology in the analysis and solution of practical, legal and policy problems for non-academic clients such as governments, development agencies, NGOs, tribal and ethnic associations, advocacy groups, social-service and educational agencies, and businesses. This course discusses the different set of ethical considerations, research constraints and report formats confronting Applied anthropologists as professionals.
