Doing Well by Doing Good: Anthropology, Business and Development Graduate Masterclass at the University of Edinburgh DATES: 2pm Monday 1st December – 2pm Tuesday 2nd December VENUE: Chrystal MacMillan Building, George Square, Edinburgh This ESRC funded 1 day Graduate Masterclass will combine lectures and advanced seminars to explore what anthropology has to say about the changing role of business in international development. Through case studies and readings from South Asia, Africa and the Pacific we will explore the emergence of humanitarian business models that have led to the design of new health and energy technologies aimed at the global poor. Limited spaces are available and accommodation and travel costs will be covered. The class will be of interest to anybody planning graduate dissertations in social anthropology, medical anthropology, anthropology and development, as well as geography and international development/development studies – MSc (Scotland), MA/MSc (England, Wales and Northern Island) - and to those thinking about pursuing PhD research projects in social anthropology and/or international development.
