Description	This module develops students’ knowledge of social anthropology by exploring the diversity of the discipline through a focus on a range of ethnographic regions. Students consider some of the key thematic and theoretical developments that have emerged from the study of particular regions of the world. Alongside this world-tour of anthropological research, students continue to develop the study skills necessary to succeed at university level, building on the work they have done in Studying Societies: Social Anthropology (33707).
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Demonstrate knowledge of how anthropology has constructed regions through ethnographic practice; Analyse and evaluate different conceptual debates, demonstrating the ability to compare how these debates differ due to the discipline’s regionalism; • Explain ethnographic case studies and locate them within their regional context; Carry out independent library-based research (guided by tutor); Apply the principles of academic integrity to assessed work.
