HD ANTH1006 Notes - includes lectures & required readings

Description

These are very comprehensive and detailed notes that I used to achieve a mark of 87 (HD) in Session 3 2020. It includes notes for the entire course content + a summary of required readings (which often tend to be very long and asked in quizzes), as well as the lecture notes. The lectures tend to be long and interesting; however, lecture slides often don’t include some important things that the lecturers mention (and which tend to be quiz questions) so I have made sure to include these crucial details in my notes. The topics included are: Drugs, Pharmaceuticals and Anthropology Ethnographies of Drug Use Hallucinogens Drug Symbolism Drug Law Reform Cannabis Cocaine Neuropharmacology Drug Abuse and Addiction The War on Drugs A Law Enforcement Perspective on Drugs Drugs and Incarceration Political Economy of Opiates Political Economy of Tobacco Tobacco and Shamanism Erectile Dysfunction Drugs Steroids Emergency Contraception The Placebo Effect (+ the required readings)
