Learn about the fascinating intersection of anthropology and international development in this introductory lecture on "Social and Cultural Perspectives on Development." This session explores how anthropologists engage with development work in two key ways: studying development itself as a phenomenon (Anthropology OF Development) and working within development projects (Anthropology IN Development).
Through real-world case studies including agroecology in Nicaragua, cholera response in Malawi, and Ebola burial practices in West Africa, discover how anthropological approaches help us understand:

Cultural perspectives and local knowledge systems
Power dynamics in development interventions
The importance of community engagement
Critical perspectives on development assumptions
How to make development projects more effective and culturally sensitive

Perfect for students, development practitioners, or anyone interested in understanding how cultural and social factors shape international development work. The lecture covers both theoretical foundations and practical applications of anthropological methods in addressing global challenges.
