Courses
This course develops a cross-cultural understanding of sex, sexuality and gender in the 21st century. We will use anthropological theory and evidence from ethnography to critically examine these subjects, and their place in contemporary debates.
Used in pharmaceuticals, natural products and traditional remedies, plants and their products are essential for human health. We explore interdisciplinary perspectives of the chemical, ethical and conversation challenges of plant use and commerce.
Drawing on cross-cultural ethnographies detailing sexual practices, sexuality and gender, anthropology offers deep insights into contemporary practice.
