Biosocial Medical Anthropology MSc

The degree introduces students to key themes in biosocial medical anthropology, including evolutionary medicine, disease ecology, ‘multi-species’ ethnography, biocultural approaches, developmental plasticity, biosocial difference and embodied inequalities. It provides training in quantitative and qualitative methods (including statistical analysis). Practical class-based exercises enable critical engagement with biosocial approaches that address public and global health challenges, including epidemics, chronic disease and the environmental health effects of the Anthropocene.
