This course is concerned with the social and ecological impacts of human activity in the context of a global fossil fuel civilization. Investigating problems of climate change, declining biodiversity, and environmental degradation, it provides an anthropologically informed perspective on crucial issues at the intersection of ecology, sustainable development, and social activism.
After taking this course, students are expected to: a) Understand the ways how anthropologists have understood kinship and family historically, and how these understandings have shifted in line with broader theoretical and methodological changes in the discipline. b) Appreciate the cross-cultural variation in how kinship and the family are conceptualized and practiced, and the role of these conceptualizations and practices in the structuring and conduct of social relations. c) Understand how conceptions and practice of family and kinship are shaped by the broader socio-cultural, economic and political contexts. d) Be able to apply the theories and methods learned to the analysis of kinship and family systems. e) To have a better appreciation of cultural variations in New Zealand and the world
