Teaching the Work of the Anthropology of Work

How do we teach the "work" of the anthropology of work?Since 2021, I have taught an undergraduate class at the University of Sussex, "Anthropology of Work, Labour, and Precarity."To create meaningful student engagement, we devote 30 minutes of seminar each week to peer facilitation: students, working in a small group, teach part of the topic by devising and delivering an interactive activity.During peer facilitation, students take ownership of the teaching space and make their own decisions about what to teach and how.As instructor, I closely supervise the process, with pre-planning meetings, supportive guidance, and extensive feedback.Here we share some examples of peer facilitation with student reflections.
