This course introduces students to a core set of social and cultural theories in anthropology, anthropological case studies, and anthropological research processes that address contemporary challenges relating to current world issues including environmental problems, displacement and forced migration, global and local Indigenous struggles, health inequalities, and multiculturalism. We explore what anthropologists study, how they do it and what impact that is having in the world. From online ethnography to anthropologists working with the military, from coal seam gas to refugees, from indigenous knowledge to material culture, we survey the breadth of the anthropological imagination.
Note: In Summer Term 2024-2025ᅠthe course will be taught in external mode and all content and interactions will be online via zoom, Blackboard, and World101x.
ANTH1030ᅠintroduces students to keyᅠanthropological concepts, discussions, and debatesᅠconcerningᅠcontemporary global issues. With a focus on UQ anthropology, we explore the varied applications of anthropological research to current issues and the impact anthropologists have in the world.ᅠDrawing on case studies from Australia, Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia, West Africa, and the United States, we will learn aboutᅠhow modernity and globalisation have affected diverse peoples and places over time. Specific topics include the operation ofᅠnationalism andᅠstruggles over sovereignty; contemporary contests over environmental extraction and the valuation of the other-than-human world;ᅠIndigenous struggles over land and belonging in the 21st century; the representation of culture and heritage through material objects; and the politics of border regimes and migration.
This course isᅠa little different to most other 1st year courses, as you will be engaging an online community of learners throughout the term. You willᅠtake part in World101x, a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) run on UQx. You will watch part of the lecture content via World101x in your own time, discuss content with other learners and complete online quizzes. This is a unique learning experience, as we take you (visually) to the fieldsites of many of our UQ anthropology lecturers and explain what they do and how they do it. We have also interviewed many eminent anthropologists from around the world. These interviews are included in the content available to you online. The idea is that you will be able to discuss current world issues with a global learning community who will be taking the course alongside you online, as well as to engage the UQ anthropology community, including the UQ anthropology museum.ᅠ
In addition to the World101x component, you will take part in weekly online lecturesᅠand weekly workshops, both of which are delivered via zoom. Whereas lectures are delivered in real time but also recorded, weekly workshops are not recorded. In workshops each week, we have two main tasks: 1) discussion of major themes, questions, and debates from the weekly learning materials and 2)ᅠpeer review of different components of the upcoming assignment. For students who cannot attend all workshops, you can participate in discussions and peer review via the course Blackboard site.

Task description
*We will show you how to sign into World101x together and discuss the requirements for this assessment item in the first tutorial, so please make sure you are able to attend. Clear instructions will also be posted on blackboard.
Online quizzes, participation tabs and museum project:
For each online study module, you will complete short, multiple-choice quizzes on edX to test your comprehension of the module's content. You will also complete participation tabs that prompt you to engage with the online discussion. In week 5, part of the online task includes a museum project that requires that you upload an image and 20-word description of two objects from your home as if they were destined for a museum. These quizzes and other tasks will be completed and scored through the extend platform within blackboard.
It is highly recommended that you complete the quiz and tasks for each online study module by Friday of that week at 2pm.
The online study modules will be open throughout the semester, so you can work ahead if you so choose. You will have only one attempt at each quiz; re-tries are not possible. Prior to completing the quiz, please make sure you have a secure internet connection and have updated your internet browser to the latest version.
You can follow your progress and check your marks on the extend site under the 'progress' tab.

Task description
For this project, you will reflect on the role of museums, things and material objects more generally, and your perceptions, ideas, and thoughts about how things get categorised, represented and displayed. Think of something that you own that brings you comfort and joy, something that you would hate to lose, something perhaps with a story to tell. Now think of that thing in a museum in the future, now existing without its story or its history -- an 'orphan thing' that has come to represent an aspect of your society in the early 21st century.
This project will have three parts:
- Choose ONE object from your own home that is important to you in some way, and that shows its history, usage and/or significance in some way. Now imagine your object is in a museum 50 years in the future.
- Attach a label to your object, which will tell someone in 50 years about it, its importance to you, and to the society you live in. The label must be no longer than 100 words. Think critically about the object, its role, and significance, and boil this down to a concise and easy-to-understand label. What do you want to tell others and future generations about this object?
- In addition to this label, you will be required to reflect in 600 words or less by thinking critically about some of the issues raised during the course segment on museums. For example: What are the broader political and social dynamics around your choice of the object displayed? How do you imagine they might be received, and how might they best be displayed to reveal your intention/s? What do you think are the dynamics at play when museums display objects from the past in general?
This assessment should be submitted to Turnitin via Blackboard and should be structured as follows:
- Title
- Photograph of your object
- Label (100 words)
- Reflection (600 words)
- Bibliography
A note on ChatGPT and other forms of generative AI:
All assignments for this course are to be researched and written by you. You are to explore the literature, you are to think the ideas, you are to write the sentences, you are to build the argument. I recognise that ChatGPT can be used in a variety of ways in the course of learning about a new topic. Some students, for example, might use ChatGPT as a place to start to begin to learn about a new concept or topic. While this can be helpful, it can also produce results that are highly problematic. We will discuss some of these issues during the course. What I ask of you is this:
1) All written assignments are to be researched and written by you.
2) If you use ChatGPT as a source of initial inquiry, you: a) acknowledge this in your final work in a statement at the end (either before or after your bibliography), b) you divulge the questions you asked AI in the course of research, and c) you use the response you receive as a preliminary start only. It is your responsibility to ensure that the information you gather from AI is accurate and timely and I can assure you, from playing around with ChatGPT myself, that this is not always the case.

You will need to confirm your format with the course coordinator by 10th January 2025.
Task description
The media project is an exercise in taking the anthropological understanding you have gained about a variety of world issues and applying it to a specific case or "current event". This media project is about you choosing a topic and exploring it anthropologically.
Media Project Outline
- Choose a current event or happening. This can be something you pick up in the international or local news; it can be something trending on TikTok or twitter; it can be a major issue in your own field of study (for example, engineering, waste management, or music); or it can be something you observe happening around you, like protests or developments.
- Gather at least 4 primary sources, such as news clips, press releases, government reports, videos, photographs, or other information about this event/happening. Depending on your topic, more than 4 sources may be necessary. Unless you are writing on disinformation, all these sources should be from reliable, trustworthy media sources. Consider: what might an anthropologist have to say about this topic? What is anthropological about this particular event or thing in the world? How might I (meaning you) explain this event to someone else by drawing on the perspectives/tools used in anthropology?
- Reflect on how these primary sources resonate with at least four (4) peer-reviewed anthropological secondary sources. These can be works we have discussed in class, sources you used for your essay, or new sources. Think about how the particular case might be informed by the theory or argument set forth in these anthropological sources.
- From these primary sources, craft your own news piece that brings in an anthropological perspective. This should be between 700-900 words (including captions or comic dialogue), and it can take many different formats: a standard news article, a "zine" essay, a radio clip, a video clip, a graphic/comic strip, a series of photos/images/graphs accompanied by relevant text, or something else. You will need to confirm your format with the course coordinator by 10th January 2025.
- Write a brief 300-word reflection on how your news piece engages with or speaks to anthropological concepts, theory, or perspectives, i.e., your four secondary sources. This reflection allows you to explain how these anthropological concepts, theories or perspectives have informed your news piece. It is both a tool for checking your own analysis and an opportunity to draw clear connections between primary and secondary sources.
- Produce a reference list of all cited primary and secondary anthropological sources. These should be under separate subheadings titled “primary sources” and “secondary sources.” The reference list is NOT part of your word count. Check the UQ Library guides for advice on formatting citations and references for a range of source types: ALL GUIDES - Library Guides at University of Queensland Library
What you will submit has three components: 1) the 700-900 word news piece that can take a variety of formats and 2) the 300-word written reflection combined together with 3) a properly formatted citation list with at least 8 sources (4 primary, 4 secondary). You will submit your components via Turnitin on Blackboard.
Even though your project can take different formats, you must demonstrate correct referencing and show that you have drawn upon at least 4 relevant peer reviewed sources.
Marking criteria and/or marking rubrics are available in the ‘Assessment’ folder in Blackboard for this course.
AI Use: Artificial Intelligence (AI) provides emerging tools that may support students in completing this assessment task. Students may appropriately use AI in completing this assessment task. Students must clearly reference any use of AI in each instance. A failure to reference AI use may constitute student misconduct under the Student Code of Conduct.
