Synopsis

The Routledge Handbook of Applied Anthropology provides a comprehensive overview of applied anthropology, offering a global portrait of key problem sets, methods, and materials that anthropologists use when working in business, government, and nongovernmental organizational settings.

Bringing together leading scholars and practitioners from across the globe, this innovative Handbook maps the full breadth of applied anthropology – its diverse conceptualizations, its deep roots in community engagement, and its vital role in addressing today’s most urgent challenges. Spanning places from Peru and Morocco to China, Australia, and North America, this Handbook highlights how anthropologists everywhere blend theory and practice to confront climate disruption, health inequities, cultural loss, forced migration, technological transformation, and more. It offers a rare global, decolonial perspective, dismantling the outdated divide between “academic” and “applied” work, and centers collaboration, reciprocity, and social impact.

This is a landmark volume that redefines what it means to put anthropology to work in a rapidly changing world. Designed for students, educators, practitioners, and organizational partners, this Handbook illuminates wide‑ranging career pathways in nonprofits, business, government, and community‑based contexts. It prepares the next generation for meaningful futures in a world where anthropological insight is urgently needed.
