Master of Archaeological Practice in Anthropology in Dunedin New Zealand | University of Otago

Social Anthropology examines how culture shapes social interactions. By researching communities different from our own—whatever background the researchers may come from—anthropologists uncover fascinating variations in global lifestyles.
At Otago, we provide diverse and thought-provoking Social Anthropology programs. Check our website for courses covering Pacific cultures, relationships, family structures, economic anthropology, life transitions, mortality research, medical anthropology, gender studies, political anthropology, belief systems, and anthropological methodologies.
Anthropologists investigate human diversity and societal contrasts. They examine pressing global issues including shifting power dynamics, eco-friendly living solutions, community boundaries, and how grassroots movements influence our evolving world. Anthropology equips you with skills to build authentic relationships across cultures. You'll develop ethical engagement practices and learn to interpret social phenomena through rigorous inquiry and analytical thinking.
