The Department of Anthropology prides itself on its inclusive and interdisciplinary focus. Anthropology takes a holistic approach to human society, combining biological and social perspectives.
Kent has pioneered the social anthropological study of Europe and the Mediterranean as well as the use of computers in anthropological research and environmental anthropology in its widest sense (including ethnobiology and ethnobotany), while maintaining an active research culture with staff working in many different parts of the world.
The current world scene is shaped by identity politics which generate struggles between groups constituted around ethnic, religious, national and other claims.
This MA examines how anthropology and associated social sciences contribute to our understanding of issues arising from the formation, expression and enactment of collective identities.
Although primarily intended for students with academic qualifications in anthropology, this course can also benefit students with qualifications in sociology, history, politics, postcolonial studies and related subjects.
Contents
The following Master's programmes are recognised by the ESRC as having research training status, so successful completion of these courses is sufficient preparation for research in the various fields of social anthropology. Many of our students do, in fact, go on to do MPhil and PhD research. Others use their Master's qualification in employment ranging from research in government departments to teaching to consultancy work overseas.
Postgraduate Diploma students may study the same course content as MA and MSc students on the respective programmes, but diploma programmes run for nine months full-time and are assessed by essays and course participation alone. Diploma students who successfully complete the coursework may, on application, be accepted onto the research and dissertation module which leads to the award of MA or MSc.
