This course is designed to familiarize students with applied anthropology and the use of anthropological knowledge in problem solving and policy making. Anthropology’s unique perspective on the study of social life has the potential to transform the world. It can bring institutional accountability and facilitate transparency in public policy and social matters, yet, this potential remains mostly unrealized – Why? This course proposes to address both the history and context of applied anthropology, emphasizing the importance of ‘insiders’, fieldwork conducted in ordinary settings of social life, ethical considerations, the need to address broader problems and the shortcomings of anthropology’s transformative potential. Students will leave this course with a better understanding of practicing applied anthropology and its application to a diverse set of issues.
