Overview
Careers
Many of our former graduate students have gone on to become professional anthropologists. Others have used Anthropology to build careers in fields such as journalism, filmmaking, and public policy.
In recent decades, the Department has placed a strong emphasis on the use of film and video in our research projects. A number of graduate students at Memorial University of Newfoundland have been able to produce ethnographic films to accompany their thesis research projects.
