One hundreds years of Australian anthropology: what have we learned?
Manage episode 516127564 series 2902251
Anthropology is the study of human cultures, with a strained culture of its own: its practitioners have often been involved in colonial control of native populations. Australia's first anthropology department was founded 100 years ago, at the University of Sydney. A century on, can an academic discipline that has followed in the footsteps of colonisation still shed light on the world?
- Guest: Dr Michael Edwards, Lecturer in Anthropology at The University of Sydney
- Producer: Alex Tighe
