About the Programme
Join Brunel Anthropology team of internationally recognised researchers, producing ground-breaking work rooted in ethnographic fieldwork spanning Africa, Asia, Europe and Oceania.
Our passionate academic staff will bring their real-life examples into their supervision and encourage you to carry out your own fieldwork to enhance your research experience. By joining Brunel you will be a part of a community of anthropologists renowned for its pioneering research in international medical anthropology and in the anthropology of childhood, youth and education.
If you want to stay away from the well-trodden areas, we invite you to proactively embrace new anthropological and global challenges and undertake work that engages with international environmental crises, human-animal relations, and contemporary imaginings of the future.
Join our research areas:
Anthropological Research on Childhood Youth and Education
Gain a new, cross-cultural understanding of the notions of the ‘child’, ‘youth’ and ‘education’.
Culture and Evolution
Deep dive into the most fundamental and powerful influences on human behaviour, and their effects: from individual biological traits and personal beliefs, through dyadic processes and group dynamics, and on to broader issues of ecology, demography, and sociohistorical context.
Histories and Concepts of Anthropological Knowledge
Research historicity, emotion, ignorance, and memory, as well as the fundamentals of anthropology: ethnographic practice and writing.
Performance, Politics and Violence
Deep dive into areas such as symbolic, mystical, and structural violence, genocide and other forms of physical violence. Examine the spectrum of power in far-reaching State, international political control all the way to the micro-politics of everyday life.
Social Justice
Explore concepts of social justice and understanding of climate change, health and wellbeing, digitalisation, poverty, conflict and inequality.
