Those living in a civilized society would must likely believe that their society is better than that of a primitive society, but like wise a primitive society would think their society is better.

During my current position as a Teaching Associate (and Affiliated Lecturer) I wrote and delivered the core second-year course of eight lectures, and facilitated eight MPhil seminars, in Economic Anthropology. I also wrote and delivered two lectures concerning the anthropology of welfare and social protection, supervised over forty students for the papers SAN1, SAN2, S5 and SAN8, and supervised an undergraduate dissertation.

Also discussed is the idea of food prohibition as being an enforcer of categories and social boundaries. Several anthropologists have discussed the Biblical passage of Leviticus and the reasoning behind its prohibition of certain foods. Leviticus listed which animals were permissible and not permissible to eat based on physical

I have also c0-facilitated eight MPhil seminars in Economic Anthropology and a five-day MPhil workshop on social anthropological research methods.
