Anthropology has the power to subvert received wisdoms, to question commonplace assumptions and to explain the extraordinary. Study with us and see the world in a different way. We offer an engaged research culture with a strong commitment to teaching.
We combine innovative research in the unfolding contemporary world with maintenance of the core anthropological traditions: long-term empirical research, commitment to a broad comparative enquiry on the nature of human sociality and human nature, and a constructive but critical engagement with social theory. Our weekly Friday morning Research Seminar has, since Malinowski's time, been the venue for cutting-edge, intensive debate on current research in the discipline.
