A CSAP-frunded development project report.
This project sought to test the efficacy of integrating a more practical-based learning into postgraduate teaching and to identify how students at pre-university level can engage more fully with global issues when examined through an anthropological lens. The project conducted over academic year 2008/9 had three primary objectives. First to offer postgraduate students studying for the MSc in Development Anthropology at Durham University an enhanced experience of learning anthropology and development and the opportunity to improve their employability by gaining experience in teaching organization communication seminar presentation and article writing; second to enhance the profile of anthropology as a university degree; and third to improve undergraduate level awareness of its vocational attributes. The overall objective was to make available to other practitioners a model indicating how to integrate outreach transferability and contemporary issues into the teaching of anthropology.
