Online Course Trailer: Anthropology of Skill & Craftwork

Introducing a new online course, 'The Anthropology of Skill & Craftwork: Explorations of the Intelligent Body in Education & Work'!
Taught by Professor Trevor H.J. Marchand
8 x 1. 5 hour classes
Course dates: 23rd January 2024, time TBC (will be UK evening time)
The Anthropology of Skill & Craftwork investigates the making of things. The multitude of functional and decorative objects, implements, textiles, buildings and furnishings with which we interact daily have been expressly designed and made, and the biographies of many such things include hands-on repair, restoration, recycling or repurposing. This project-based course introduces participants to the study of human skill and ways of knowing that create our material worlds and give them meaning.
This course is aimed at students (and graduate students) of anthropology, sociology, experimental archaeology, material culture, education studies, design, fine arts, architecture and museum studies (upper-year UG, MA and PhD); postdoctoral students of any discipline with an interest in craft, design or embodied knowledge/skill; practicing craftspeople, designers, architects, artists and engineers - worldwide.
