Research
The distinctive research aims and profile of the Department
reflect its long-standing commitment to a broad-based conception of
Anthropology, combining biological, social and material culture perspectives. A
substantial proportion of the Department’s research activity and outputs are the
result of staff collaboration both within and between these groupings, for
example in pastoralist research and in the anthropology of genomics.Â

Much of the Department's research cuts across the above groupings and is conducted in the context of thematically-oriented research forums. These forge interdisciplinary collaborations that link the Department of Anthropology with other departments in UCL, as well as with collaborators in other universities both within the UK and internationally.

Our approximately 100 research students form a vital part of the intellectual life of the Anthropology Department at UCL. In addition to their relationship to individual supervisors, and as well as attending one or more of the Department's five weekly research seminars, research students are expected to participate in regular Reading and Research Groups (RRGs). Bringing students and staff together to exchange ideas on themes of mutual interest, our RRGs draw their membership from all parts of the Department, as well as welcoming participants from other UCL Departments and other London Colleges.
