Course summary
Anthropology is the study of human cultures and societies in a changing world. At Sussex, we emphasise:
- teaching and research on real-world problems at a human scale
- an empathic understanding of diverse values, beliefs, and ways of life
- a complex analysis of how politics, economy, culture, and environment shape everyday lives.
Modules
All research students are required to complete an appropriate programme of research methods training; this may involve enrolling on the MSc in social research methods before proceeding to the PhD. This is known as a 1+3 course. Recent thesis titles include: Conflicts of a ‘peaceful’ diaspora: identity, power and peace politics among Cypriots in the UK and Cyprus; negotiating educational desire: migrant youths and aspirations in Shanghai, China; of the earthquake and other stories: the continuity of change in Pakistan-administered Kashmir; ‘our brother’s keeper’: moralities of transformation at YMCA Centres in the UK and Gambia; producing beauty: the social politics of mass production at a special economic zone in South India.
