Collaboration
Collaboration is at the heart of research in UCL Anthropology.
We work across departments and faculties within UCL, fostering interdisciplinary connections that enrich our approaches and insights. Externally, we partner with communities, NGOs, cultural institutions, governments, and industry worldwide. From co-produced fieldwork to cross-sector innovation, our collaborations ensure that anthropological research remains engaged, relevant, and responsive to the world around us.
