 BA in Anthropology

Anthropology is the study of humankind in all its fascinating diversity. As a discipline, it aims to discover and explain the patterns of behaviour behind the world’s astounding variety of human societies and cultures: from the hunters and gatherers of the rainforest to the elite worlds of global corporations. Because they endeavour to understand and interpret other cultures, anthropologists are uniquely positioned to foster better understanding of differences such as those of ethnicity, gender, or generation, or across the lines of wealth or politics. Anthropology is subdivided into specialities which examine particular realms of human experience—such as medical anthropology, language and culture, the study of religion, psychological anthropology, and so on. Anthropology is also famous for its remarkable methodology – ethnographic research. Anthropologists write descriptive and analytic accounts of other cultures based on living with a group of people for an extended period of time. Our students will learn from anthropologists who work in very different parts of the world, from Papua New Guinea to disadvantaged areas of Dublin’s inner city, and from the Sudan to Russia. Students will learn about issues ranging from famine to drug use, from gang violence to high-tech surveillance, and from linguistics to consumer cultures....
