ANTH800: Applied Anthropology: Why Does Culture Matter?

This unit examines the uses of culture in professional settings at various levels, from the management of urban communities and interpersonal conflicts to the international strategies of corporations and governments. Students will develop a sensitivity to implicit assumptions about culture in the projects and claims they encounter; an ability to question these assumptions and claims and pay attention to the issues of power behind them; and a competence to apply a grid of practically oriented questions to specific projects that will facilitate culturally informed, context-sensitive and productive outcomes.
