About this subject
Asia is a region of extraordinary cultural and ecological diversity. This unit combines approaches from anthropology, sociology, and ecology to explore the 'traditional' adaptations and 'modern' transformation of cultures in the region. The impacts of globalisation and development policies on these societies will be considered, with special attention to indigenous minorities and rural communities. The impacts of social and environmental change as a result of the green revolution, population pressure, urbanisation, industrialisation, overfishing, deforestation and tourism will also be addressed. Please Note: All students studying at Murdoch University will need to complete the compulsory unit, Murdoch Academic Passport (MAP100), which only takes 2-3 hours to complete online.
