Anthropology and Sociology
This exciting major explores contemporary societies and cultures in change. It draws upon the closely related fields of anthropology and sociology. Bringing the two fields together in this way broadens student and graduate scope for interdisciplinary research and professional practice.
The anthropology and sociology major focuses local and global contexts particularly in Australia, South Asia, East Asia, and the Pacific, exploring by way of specific events, institutions, social groups and everyday life how each is being transformed in the context of globalised communication, economies and political systems. Particular units address such topics as family, sport, gender relations, media, education, work and economic change, community development, health, crime and human rights.
