Our Social Anthropology group forms an international centre of excellence for postgraduate training, recognised as one of the premier research departments in the UK.
Edinburgh’s Social Anthropology department is among the largest in the UK, and our research interests are correspondingly diverse.
Our research is global in scope and includes core themes in: health and wellbeing; religion and society; migration and refugee studies; science and technology; the anthropology of kinship; peace and conflict studies; anthropology and the arts; media anthropology; cultural heritage; international development; human-animal relations the anthropology of design
Our work generally combines a traditional anthropological emphasis on ethnographic fieldwork with a focus on contemporary issues.
We welcome interdisciplinary research and are home to the Edinburgh Centre for Medical Anthropology (EdCMA), and numerous collaborations with the Edinburgh College of Art, including the Atelier Network.
We also work closely with the Centre for African Studies (CAS), particularly with research on international development.
