ANTH 136 - Applied Anthropology

Upper Division

Anthropologists increasingly are employed in a variety of jobs outside of academia. Applied anthropology involves the practical application of anthropological theory and methods to such areas as business, the environment, medicine, education, social and economic development, and the preservation of cultural heritage. This course introduces students to the methods, theories, and roles anthropologists have in the workplace, including issues of ethics, analysis and report writing, enabling students to use their anthropological training in their post-baccalaureate careers.
