Anthropology

About

Overview

The study of Anthropology in the School of Law and Social Sciences takes place in an environment of cutting-edge research and innovation. Spanning the whole of anthropology from biological, social archaeology & primatology, our innovative and influential research has received international recognition, and we are changing our understanding of what it means to human from deep time to the present day.

We offer students close supervision from two supervisors who have research expertise in your research area and plentiful opportunities to present your work and participate in our research training and other research events.

Anthropology at Oxford Brookes comprises several collaborative research clusters supporting our doctoral students and encouraging wide participation both through our partnerships and our full programme of conferences, public events and lectures. Our research clusters are grouped together within the Centre for Environment and Society (CES).
