This subject critically explores the notion and phenomenon of 'development' in Asia-Pacific
contexts through an anthropological lens. Practices, problems and processes in social
or community-based development and planned culture change raise central anthropological
questions about power, identity and agency. The subject will provide students with
an understanding of how anthropological approaches inform the study of meanings and
concepts associated with modernity and the priorities, policies and practices of development
agencies. The subject considers globalisation and transnationalism, international
NGO networks, and such issues such as the politics of development knowledge, natural
resource development, environment and bio-technology, poverty, labour and the global
economy, gender, health and human rights. The subject includes practical workshops
on research methods used in development anthropology.
