Features

• Academic staff, post-doctoral researchers and PhD Anthropology students at Brunel University London alike work within a single Social Anthropology research grouping, designed both to capitalise on our historic strengths—in the anthropologies of global health; childhood and youth; histories and concepts of anthropological knowledge; and performance, politics and violence—as well as enabling a proactive embrace of new global challenges.

• The latter includes exciting new work that engages with international environmental crises, human-animal relations, and contemporary imaginings of the future.

Courses include:

• Arts Health and Social Change
• Social Justice
• Anthropological Research on Childhood Youth and Education
