ANTH 307 - Anthropology of Development

2019-2020 Catalog Year

Credit(s): 3
Lecture: 3
Non-Lecture: 0
This course explores how anthropologists have evaluated, criticized and contributed to international development. We will use anthropological perspectives to examine critically the theoretical configurations and practical applications of development paradigms, both historically and in the present. Key anthropological contributions to reformulating development knowledge and practice are derived from anthropological analyses of culture, social change, globalization, neoliberalism and alternative visions for development.
