Synopsis

This course examines proceses of change by focussing on the impact of western culture on small-scale societies. Broad theoretical frameworks relating to the change process are presented as well as specifics relating to western expansion and colonisation, social and economic change, migration and urbanisation, globalisation, and the creation of Fourth World societies within the nation state. Also considered are the applications of applied anthropology as an agent of change, related ethical concerns, and anthropology's role in contemporary society.
