Description	This module focuses on the application of anthropological knowledge and training to professional fields beyond the academy. Taking seriously the idea of applied or engaged anthropology, and thinking carefully about distinctions between academic and non-academic anthropology, the module considers a range of examples of trained anthropologists who work in other fields. These may include, for example, journalism, law, the charity sector, marketing, communications, and public or global health. Students will consider specific real-world case studies and reflect on how a background in anthropology informed their subsequent careers. Students will be encouraged to think about what anthropology can contribute beyond academia by means of transferable skills, including the development of particular sensibilities and distinctive approaches to knowledge and enquiry.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Describe the particular skills and approaches that anthropological training develops Demonstrate knowledge of how anthropological skills and approaches can be relevant to particular non-academic professions Acknowledging any limitations, consider the real or potential contribution of anthropology as a discipline to the societies in which we live
