ANTH 690 - Master’s Capstone 1: On Being Human

3 Credit(s)

Description:
In this course Public anthropology Masters students prepare to undertake summer placements and begin to design thesis projects. They achieve these goals through a combination of applied thesis proposal development workshops and introductions to the major theoretical texts that shape research design and interpretation in heritage, health, human rights, and environmental anthropology. At an intellectual level, students will emerge from Capstone 1 with a working understanding of how theoretical constructs shape the formation of research questions and the interpretation and dissemination of findings. As public anthropologists, students will complete the course with a draft of a thesis proposal that will inform the project that complete during the fourth semester. Capstone 1 complements and consolidates the analytical, ethical, and other methodological training students undertake in their first year.
