Anthropology and Sociology Masterclass for Year 12s and 13s

On Campus Anthropology and Sociology Masterclass, for Year 12s and 13s

On Campus Masterclasses are subject based and are three hours long. They consist of a topic based lecture and interactive activity, led by a SOAS academic. There is also a campus tour and a workshop on Higher Education led by Student Ambassadors.

"Meandering Rivers, Broken Banks: Climate Change and Anthropology"

The Masterclass will explore river systems across the world as they face a particular susceptibility to sea level rise and global warming at a time of climate change. We will answer questions like:

• How are people keeping up with the changes?
• How do governments help people on river banks as climate change faces?

The session will also answer the crucial role of anthropology in understanding the ever-changing planet. There will be a group activity as well.

Participants will develop their critical thinking, public speaking and analytical skills.
