Details when anthropologists become involved in international development projects.

The textbook chapter this week described some of the details when anthropologists become involved in international development projects.

ENG 101: CRITICAL ANALYSIS

Purpose:

The aim of this project is to give you practice in examining an artifact or topic (in this case the artifact/topic is some element of digital information or communications) in order to determine both effects and broader implications of the artifact/topic.
