This course will be an introduction to important theoretical discussions around anthropology and development, enabling the students to build a reflexive perspective on the relevance of Social and Cultural Anthropology as a discipline in the field of international development cooperation.
The course will be both theory and practice-oriented. On the one hand, through readings and discussions, the course will critically address the concept of development with a historical and decolonial approach to the discipline and offer a focus on intercultural communication and how people from different cultures and languages communicate with each other. On the other hand, discussions with professionals/practitioners, group work (e.g. discussing job offers), as well as short presentations will enable students to navigate the landscape of institutions in the field.Objectives:
- To know important debates and controversies revolving at the crossroads of anthropology and development, and to be able to critically and reflexively apprehend and analyze international development cooperation as a field.
- To reflect on the practice of anthropology as a discipline, and to be able to understand how a trained anthropologist may become a practitioner in the field of international development cooperation, and how theories might transform into practice.
- To become familiar with the landscape of institutions and organizations of international cooperation, and to distinguish the opportunities and challenges of working in this field as a trained social scientist.
