Description:

Environmental Anthropology is an interdisciplinary study that focuses on changing human-environment relationships the world over and throughout time.

This programme offers you the opportunity to acquire advanced knowledge of the dynamics of human-environment relationships in time and space, with a focus on how people both understand and influence the environment. You study issues such as:

• Biocultural diversity• Ethnobiological knowledge systems• Historical and Political Ecology• Multispecies ethnography• Anthropology and Conservation• Life in the Anthropocene• Human adaptation to environmental and climatic change

There is an option to study this programme as an MA or an MSc, with students who opt for the MSc being offered the opportunity to take conservation modules taught by researchers from the Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology (DICE) and the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew.
