ANTH8050 is a thesis course for the Master of Applied Anthropology and Participatory Development(Advanced).
Students in this course carry out advanced research on a question of their choice. Their topic is agreed with their thesis supervisor and approved by their masters convenor. Students design and implement a project to answer their research question, to place the answer in the context of an intellectual tradition, and to communicate it clearly to others.
Consent will only be given to enter this course if the student is: (1) enrolled in a Masters Advanced program in which the course is listed and (2) has the written agreement of an identified supervisor to supervise the thesis commencing in a specified semester. Students will be asked to provide evidence of the Supervisor agreement.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:
- pose a significant research question relating to their discipline;
- investigate this question creatively, critically, ethically, and independently, including through sophisticated use of appropriate theory and methodology as appropriate to the discipline, and place these investigations in the context of the relevant intellectual tradition; and
- communicate their research and its findings through an appropriate medium.
