Breaking other people's toys: reflections on teaching critical anthropology in development studies
This paper explores the personal transformations of students learning critical anthropology on a Development Studies course. Students personal projects intertwine with their disciplinary and professional choices. I show how learning that radically challenges the development paradigm may lead to internal personal conflicts and life-project crises. How should teachers of anthropology design and teach such courses and what is the impact on students and on the disciplines?

Abstract
This paper explores the personal transformations of students learning critical anthropology on a Development Studies course. Students personal projects intertwine with their disciplinary and professional choices. I show how learning that radically challenges the development paradigm may lead to internal personal conflicts and life-project crises. How should teachers of anthropology design and teach such courses and what is the impact on students and on the disciplines?
