Introduction

This major introduces students to anthropology - the study of humanity - its origins, development and contemporary variations. It enables students to understand how contemporary local, regional and national cultures are affected by, and react to, processes of global change such as industrialisation, urbanisation, increasing inter-ethnic contacts, environmental transformation and new modes of communication.
