HUMA1038 2028-29
Introduction to Ethnography: Food and Culture
Biological science tells us what items in our world are potentially edible, but culture decides what constitutes food. Culture informs us as to whether a specific item is appropriate, appetising, valued, desirable, prohibited, restricted, staple or medicinal. These and other qualities are products of culture not simply the ‘food’ itself. ‘You are what you eat’ illustrates the social dynamics through which identities, relationships, and hierarchies are created, performed and reproduced.
This module examines cultural variation in what constitutes food, drink and medicine in contemporary societies and contexts. We will also look into changing patterns of food acquisition from prehistory into the present.
In particular we will examine how our cultural definitions, discourses, values and practices concerning food act to build, sustain and nourish us as biological bodies, as individually specific persons, and as participants in specific social, cultural, ethnic, national and transnational groups. -

Introduction to European Prehistory
The 10,000 years from the end of the last glacial to the emergence of Roman as a major European power were marked by dramatic changes in subsistence, social organisation, material worlds and cosmology. This module provides an introduction to the major themes that structure European later prehistory: from hunter- gatherer worlds to the spread of agriculture; the emergence of great ceremonial monuments and, in places, equally monumental settlements; the effect of the adoption of metallurgy, and the creation of extensive networks of contact and exchange; and the impact that Rome was to have on Iron Age societies in its broader hinterland. Through lectures and an individual project, a range of evidence will be explored. You will be introduced to current interpretive debates and the ways that archaeologists reconstruct prehistoric lifeways and world views. -

Introduction to Experiments in Social Science
This module introduces the students to the theory and practice of experimental methods in Social Sciences. It delivers an overview of prevalent approaches, specifically lab, field, and survey experiments, providing a solid introduction to experimental methodology and the practical skills to design, implement, analyse, and present experiments. Substantively it draws examples from a variety of disciplines including political science, economics, business and psychology.
The target audience of the course are students approaching experimental methods for the first time and have limited or no knowledge of quantitative methods. The course does not require any previous knowledge of experimental design or statistics and is designed to help the students acquire basic statistical skills in a practical and engaging way. -
