Intro
The programme combines biological and social anthropological approaches
to examine the ecology of resource use in developing societies and to
evaluate the environmental implications and outcomes of these activities
in terms of human subsistence and welfare. The taught programme
consists of seminars, lectures and tutorials.
The following elements are compulsory for all taking the programme: Core
Course in Research Use and Impacts, Graduate Seminar in Research
Methods and Human Ecology Research Group Seminar.
In addition, students must choose two optional topics for examination.
Optional topics include: Ecology of Human Groups, Population and
Nutrition, Economic and Political Anthropology, Medical Anthropology,
various options on Regional Ethnography, and Current Themes in
Conservation.
In addition to the above, the department offers an array of optional
research seminars in Biological Anthropology, Social Anthropology,
Material Culture, Medical Anthropology and African Ethnography,
which are available to interested MSc students. The programme is
examined by unseen and take-home examinations, assessed essays, and a
thesis of not more than 15,000 words.
