Our Department has a strong tradition in postgraduate research and training with our research students going on to research topics of both national and global interest.

The anthropologists at the University form a cohesive, research-active, group and regularly presents its research in seminars and conferences at the University.

One of the Projects which our Department was involved in was SoNAR-Global: A Global Social Sciences Network for Infectious Threats and Antimicrobial Resistance.                                                

Anthropology Workshop

The Department also co-organised an online workshop on self-alteration with Macquarie University in Australia investigating the rich panoply of modalities, methods, and mechanisms through which people, individually or communally, seek to alter or to re-vitalize themselves. The workshop programme took place via ZOOM and consisted of a series of seminars on 8-9 December 2021 and a postgraduate student panel on the 10 December 2021.
