Course description

This course introduces anthropological and other theoretical perspectives on and from the societies, scholars and peoples of the Pacific - from American Samoa and Hawai'i to the Marshall Islands, Papua New Guinea and West Papua. It is not a traditional review of the history of anthropological thought, but rather, in this course, `theory' means diverse interpretations and understandings of society. Through an exploration of racism/colonialism, culture and gender it prepares students to engage more deeply with challenges such as climate change, gender equality, and decolonisation and provides a grounding in Pacific anthropology.
