This course offers an introduction to the theory and practice of applied anthropology in Australia and comparative international contexts like New Zealand, Canada, and the United States of America. Seminars will particularly focus on skills for working with Indigenous people and territories, particularly in the areas of native title research, cultural heritage management, and development. Students also have the opportunity to participate in a fieldtrip to an Aboriginal cultural landscape destination to learn about applied anthropology and Indigenous territories in a real-world setting outside the University.
The course focuses on applied anthropology with Indigenous people around the world. We will also address other settings and contexts where applied anthropologists work in design, business and development. Students in this course will learn anthropological theory relevant to applied research as well as analytical and methodological skills required to work effectively with Indigenous people. This includes an exciting opportunity for students to gain real-world experience in an anthropological field setting.
This course has an introductory module leading to more advanced training in applied anthropology, which makes it suitable for those with a background in anthropology as well as students with backgrounds in archaeology, architecture, development studies, geography, political science, law, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies, and other disciplines. Course modules provide intensive training in ethnographic interviewing and fieldwork skills, as well as familiarising students with the commercial aspects of applied anthropological work.
The topics for each week are outlined in this course instance. This course incorporates forms of Work Integrated Learning and Authentic Assessment through knowledge and skill development during the seminars and fieldwork.

A hurdle is an assessment requirement that must be satisfied in order to receive a specific grade for the course. Check the assessment details for more information about hurdle requirements.
Presented in class in weeks 4, 5, 6, and 7 (if necessary). You MUST present your positionality in class and be prepared to answer questions. The date will be assigned at the beginning of the semester.
This assessment requires you to present a short reflection in class about your own positionality in relation to your work goals. The reflection should be a maximum of 5 minutes long and must cover the following points:
Given the focus of this course, you are encouraged to engage with your positionality particularly in relation to 'Indigenous territories'. Please note, there is no right or wrong answer to this question. You will instead be marked on your ability to critically reflect on your positionality in relation to the experience of working as an anthropologist. You do not have to be comprehensive about your positionality, but should focus on one or two aspects of it. To prepare for this assessment, you should reflect on the different contexts in which you may work in the future, and the ways in which your positionality may have benefits and/or challenges in different contexts. Different aspects of your positionality may well come to shape your work in different ways, particularly your work with Indigenous peoples, and this assessment is asking you to start to think about how you will manage this, and to share your thoughts with the class. This is intended to assess your developing capacity for reflexivity and professional self-understanding, rather than polished performance or scripted responses.
Please note: according to University policy, student presentations must be recorded and stored in the event that students ask for a re-mark. In keeping with this policy, presentations will be audio recorded and stored in a secured folder on the University server. Presentations will be deleted from this folder after 1 year.
Marking criteria and/or marking rubrics are available in the ‘Assessment’ folder in Blackboard Ultra for this course.
Use of AI: This assessment task is to be completed in-person. Any use of AI tools in preparing this reflection (e.g., for brainstorming or structuring ideas) must be declared by identifying the model used (e.g., ChatGPT5.2) and sequence of prompts used. Please note that this assessment requires you to articulate and explain your own positionality in real time. You will be questioned about your reflection and must be able to explain and expand on your position without reference to AI-generated material. Inability to do so may affect the mark awarded.

Part A: In-Field Preliminary Reflection (10%) 9/05/2026 4:00 pm
Part B: Field-Based Professional Advisory Memo (30%) 27/05/2026 2:00 pm
Students are required to produce an in-field preliminary reflection and professional advisory memo that identifies, interprets, and responds to a specific tension, ambiguity, or opportunity observed during the field trip, and proposes a culturally appropriate interpretative response grounded in field observations, seminar discussions, and course readings. This assessment has two parts.
Part A: In-Field Preliminary Reflection (10%)
Immediately following the field trip, you will be given one hour to write a short preliminary reflection based on your observations from the field. This reflection is intended to capture your initial observations, questions, and uncertainties before they are shaped by later discussion, reading, or writing.
This task assesses your attentiveness in the field and your capacity to begin thinking anthropologically in situ.
For your in-field reflection, you must:
Conditions:
Note: you are not expected to produce a polished or complete analysis at this stage. Notes, bullet points, and sketches are acceptable.
This task will be due the same day as the field trip, exactly 1 hour after the conclusion of the field activities.
Part B: Field-Based Professional Advisory Memo (30%)
This part of the assessment requires you produce a short professional memo based on your field observations, seminars, and course readings. The memo simulates advisory work undertaken by applied anthropologists when working in urban contexts where Indigenous presence, absence, authority, recognition, and representation are complex and often contested.
You are not being asked to provide a comprehensive cultural history. Instead, the task assesses your ability to identify an issue arising during the field trip and to analyse its implications using concepts, ethics, and methods from applied anthropology.
In your memo, you must:
Word limits:
Marking criteria and/or marking rubrics are available in the ‘Assessment’ folder in Blackboard Ultra for this course.
Use of AI: This assessment task evaluates students' ability to make professional judgements grounded in shared field experience. AI tools may be used for preliminary preparation, e.g., to organise notes or undertake coding. The use of AI tools to generate field evidence is prohibited and may constitute student misconduct under the Student Code of Conduct. Students MUST be able to explain and defend their analysis with reference to specific field observations and your in-field preliminary reflection.
Fieldtrip participation and alternative written examination:
This course includes a field-based learning activity that forms the basis of Assessment 3. Participation is expected, as it provides essential shared field experience that cannot be replicated in the classroom. Students who are unable to attend the field trip will not be able to complete the field-based assessment and will instead be required to sit an alternative written examination assessing the same learning outcomes. The alternative assessment is not a substitute for the field trip experience but provides an alternative means of demonstrating course learning outcomes. Students who undertake the exam will complete a field-method simulation under exam conditions. They will be provided with curated field materials (eg., photographs, excerpts of field notes, archival documents) and required to analyse them using participant observation, interviewing and cultural mapping as methodological frameworks. While they will not undertake direct observation, they will demonstrate applied understanding of these methods and their limits in Indigenous research contexts.
You must submit your handwritten in-field preliminary assessments in person on the due date.
You must submit your memo electronically by the due time, on the due date.
Your assessment must be submitted via Turnitin on Blackboard Ultra.

Week 1 (23 Feb - 01 Mar) |
Seminar |
Introduction: Applied and Engaged Anthropology What is applied anthropology? How do anthropologists work to make a difference in the world? In this introductory seminar we will look at some of the settings and contexts in which anthropologists work outside universities, including with Indigenous people, as well as in design, business, and development projects around the world. To prepare for this seminar, please watch the YouTube clip about Genevieve Bell, read the extract from Gillian Tett's book, Tett & Friedman's book and the overview provided by Paul Sillitoe. Learning outcomes: L01, L02, L03, L04, L05, L06 |
Week 2 (02 Mar - 08 Mar) |
Seminar |
History and Theory of Applied Anthropology This seminar looks at the history of applied anthropology, examining the shifting ways in which anthropologists have worked in Australia and internationally. This seminar also addresses theory relevant to applied research, as well as some of the politics and ethics of applied anthropology, including the concept of 'positionality' which we will engage with in our presentations. Make sure you attend this seminar as we will be using this time to schedule the date of the presentations. Learning outcomes: L01, L02, L03, L04, L05, L06 |
Week 3 (09 Mar - 15 Mar) |
Seminar |
Applied Anthropology with Indigenous Peoples This seminar addresses some of the contexts in which anthropologists work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Australia, and Indigenous peoples internationally, on matters relating to colonialism, land rights and native title, cultural heritage protection, intra-Indigenous disputes, mining agreements, economic development, and so on. In this seminar, we will also expand our thinking about positionality by considering the perspectives of several Indigenous scholars. Learning outcomes: L01, L02, L03, L04, L05, L06 |
Week 4 (16 Mar - 22 Mar) |
Seminar |
Ethics in Applied Research and Presentations Applied research involves investigating real-life situations and making decisions which will affect the lives of others, including Indigenous peoples. It often involves liaising with national governments and the United Nations, non-government organisations (like Oxfam), development agencies (like the World Bank), as well as businesses like mining companies. Each of our engagements as applied anthropologists involve complex ethical considerations. To guide our work, we draw on ethics documents such as the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS) Code of Ethics, Australian Anthropological Society (AAS) Code of Ethics and the UN Declaration On the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). In this seminar, we will examine some of the concepts in these documents, such as the concept of 'free, prior and informed consent'. We will also workshop how to apply ethics codes such as the AIATSIS Code to a range of real-life work scenarios. This week, we will also begin our presentations, which will continue until the mid-semester break. Learning outcomes: L01, L02, L04, L05, L06 |
Week 5 (23 Mar - 29 Mar) |
