This degree examines the big issues of our time through the lens of diverse human experience and agency. With a focus on knowledge and practice, and the cultures in which they exist, the degree challenges dominant forms of knowing. Students examine a range of social concerns: how, for example, does ritual and ceremonial activity ensure social solidarity on the one hand, and compliance on the other? What happens when ‘alien’ customs are enforced, or when cultural groups lose (through colonisation, missionisation, modernisation etc.) their ritual traditions? How can ‘alternative’ forms of knowledge (such as Indigenous knowledge) help us better tackle climate change, global inequality, warfare and poverty? How can an understanding of ‘alternative’ forms of exchange (such as non-market exchange) help us better understand human sociality and address multi-level inequalities?
This critical overview of ‘social development’ in our BA International Development with Anthropology provides the skills needed to ethically engage on a multi- and inter-cultural level.
