Anthropology is the study of human life and experience and teaches people how to understand cultural difference. Graduates contribute such expertise to government, industry or community organisations working with people of diverse backgrounds and lifestyles. In Australia, this could mean work on migrant or ethnic issues, on how and why people may be prepared to adopt new technologies, or on resolution of Aboriginal native title claims and negotiation of resource developments like mining, tourism and fishing. International work might involve economic and social development in Pacific Island countries, attitudes to environmental conservation across the globe, or corporate and consumer activities.
