Lecture:	1 x 3 Hours Weekly
Syllabus:	We explore the ways anthropologists have engaged research in cities, textually, visually, theoretically. This unit positions students to use and develop their knowledge so that they too can "do" - rather than just "read" - urban anthropology. In doing so, students deploy observation and interviewing methods to examine small, particular aspects of the cultures of urban life (e.g. pedestrian patterns at a busy intersection; choices about food shopping - supermarkets, farmers' markets, etc; entertainment inpublic places; the historical choices and positioning of public monuments; cemeteries as places of cultural meaning; the cultural use of space, within the home, in public places).
To ensure that the most up-to-date information about unit references, texts and outcomes appears, they will be provided in your unit outline prior to commencement.
