Social anthropology explores how and why people (including ourselves) do the things they do – for example, how they work, use technologies and negotiate conflicts, relationships and change. In many ways, the study of History is the study of people, too, as you work with sources and a range of historical opinion to understand how the individuals, societies and events of the past have shaped the world today.Social Anthropology allows for the holistic study of people's ideas, beliefs, practices and activities in a wide range of local, global, diasporic and transnational settings. You explore political and economic organisation, use of rural and urban spaces, systems of knowledge and forms of religious experience.<br><br>Teaching is by a combination of lectures, providing a broad overview, and seminars, which focus on discussing particular issues and are led by student presentations. Lectures and seminars use a variety of materials, including original documents, films and documentaries, illuminated manuscripts, slide and PowerPoint demonstrations.Our teaching is research-led as all our staff are active in their fields.
