Master of Arts [M.A] [Digital Media and Information Studies] From University of Glasgow

The Social Anthropology course is offered by the University of Essex.

At Essex we investigate what connects people with each other, as well as what divides them. We consider every aspect of our daily lives, from how we relate to politicians, celebrities and friends, to how we define ourselves, our families, and others. You study topics including:

• Witchcraft, potlatch ceremonies in North America, and the aesthetics of Nomadic people
• Anthropological approaches to gender, ethnicity, race and kinship
• Sociology of migration, religion belief, and multinational corporations
• Birth, sex and death
