It’s a brand new course, it will start next year it’ll have it’s 
first enrolment and it exists in two forms. One is as a major
within the Bachelor of Social Science so
students who want to combine with
some other study they could do it within
that it’s also a stand-alone degree called
a Bachelor of
Anthropology and it’s going to be the first one in
the country. The purpose of Anthropology
is to make the world safe for human
difference and so we start with human
difference and the idea of human
difference is being something to celebrate.
The unit that Helena has worked up for our
Introductory Unit is about different
ways of being in the world and then we
take them into globalization and the
sorts of changes that have happened
particularly in the last thirty to forty
years which is you know radically
altered the everyday lives of humans
everywhere in the world.
Because it opens your mind to human diversity it
will encourage you to travel, to look out for
opportunities and not to simply sit back and
wait for things to come to you. So it's
something I think that really energizes
people and certainly what I’ve seen
among many colleagues and friends over time.
