Course Description
In this course we explore the impact of anthropological research in business, and analyses of the corporate world, and how anthropologists work with communities, institutions, and organizations to understand and address practical social problems at local and global scales. We focus on how anthropological skills and methods are applied in non-academic contexts, from Google and market researchers, to government agencies and NGO's.
