This MA provides a theoretical and empirical understanding of issues and debates in Social Anthropology and offers the chance to carry out a piece of original or library-based research. It allows for the opportunity to explore the relationship between anthropology and cognate disciplines. The principal aim is to equip you to understand and interpret human social behaviour, and to become practitioners as well as analysts within the field of social anthropology.
The programme develops your interest in and knowledge of human societies, and fosters your appreciation of the interconnections between different aspects of social and cultural life (eg religion, politics, kinship, material culture). There are case studies as well as theoretical and methodological analyses.
The MA is designed as both a conversion programme for students from other disciplines who wish to gain an appreciation of Social Anthropology, and as advanced training for students with a first degree in Social Anthropology. The options allow you to focus on sociological or cultural aspects and open up the possibility of specialisation within a number of areas.
All tutors have carried out their own field research, particuarly concentrating on south-east Europe, Central America and Africa, and draw on these experiences in their teaching.
