ANTH 2171 - Action, Justice, and Change: An Introduction to Engaged and Applied Anthropology


A broad overview of how anthropologists address current problems and issues facing communities around the world, and the role of anthropology in global and local issues. Applied anthropology has become an increasingly relevant field as globalization has intensified the necessity for improved cultural understanding and communication both within and across borders. Applied anthropologists are found in a vast array of occupations outside of academia, including jobs in the corporate world, medical and health fields, tourism industry, environmental and other activist positions, the development field, gerontology, social work, and in nonprofit organizations. This course helps students understand the relevance of anthropology for important issues and problems facing their communities.
