 My name is Edward Simpson and I'm a professor of social anthropology and I'm currently the head of department. We think our department is a wonderful place to study. Our research in departmental culture consistently appears in the top 15 institutions in the influential global QS rankings. Our research is world leading, highly cited and profoundly influential. We value collaboration and partnerships. Many of us also work with governments, artists, curators, non-governmental organisations, activists. We offer core training in ethnographic research methods. We walk the tightrope between profound philosophical questions about how to know and the practicalities of field methods and field-based research. Across the programme we offer a comprehensive grounding in the theoretical approaches scholars have taken to the study of social anthropology. We explore different ways of conceptualising and isolating and analysing salience in the world. Where is power? Contest? And how do the grand theories of the social come to bear on the realities of everyday life? The ethnography as we call it. For us, anthropology offers an approach to understanding the world. The discipline offers us the tools and concepts to come to terms with the invisible forces that animate social life, that reinforce inequality and explain the direction in which we're travelling. Across the MA, we also offer a wide range of optional modules that focus on topics as diverse, as migration, diet, mobility, sustainability, race, gender, desire. We also think about how to change things. We're an international hub for scholarship and the exchange of ideas. Our campus is vibrant and it really is an exciting place where people and ideas come together.
