Overview
Brunel University of London's Anthropology PhD is a team of internationally recognised researchers, producing ground-breaking work rooted in ethnographic fieldwork spanning Africa, Asia, Europe and Oceania.
Key Facts
- Academic staff, post-doctoral researchers and PhD Anthropology students at Brunel University of 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.
