Very excited to announce that my online course ‘Anthropology Applied’ is running again at Oxford University Department for Continuing Education from October. Enrolment now open!

https://www.conted.ox.ac.uk/courses/anthropology-applied?code=O24P701AHZ

“In this course we will explore the unique and vital contribution of applied anthropology in helping to examine and address some of the major global challenges of our time. Drawing from real-world case studies we will investigate a range of critical issues, from sustainable development and population displacement to public health and natural disasters. We will learn how an integrated understanding of underlying social and cultural dynamics can dramatically influence the success or failure of interventions and outcomes, tipping a delicate balance between preservation or loss, prosperity or poverty, peace or conflict, life or death.”
