Doctor of Philosophy - Anthropology - Social

Program Overview

One of Canada’s largest, most dynamic programs in sociocultural anthropology, integrating innovative research and theory with a commitment to social and economic justice. 4 specializations: Health, Illness & the Body; Knowledge Systems; Power, Politics & Development; Representation, Identity & Performance.

The Doctoral program prepares candidates for a career in teaching, research or as an anthropologist employed in the public or private sector. Graduates are expected to have acquired autonomy in conducting in-depth, full-scale field research projects. They are expected to be able to conduct research, write, revise and publish scholarly manuscripts. These objectives are achieved beginning with a first year of formal course work that includes the possibility of internships as well as directed reading courses. The second year of the program is geared towards developing intellectual independence and a comprehensive understanding of theory, method and area, in preparing for comprehensive requirements: two comprehensive examinations and a research proposal. The next phase of training tests students' abilities to conduct independent field research in diverse social and cultural settings and locales. Field sites are various and range widely both spatially and temporally and in concept. The final phase of the program involves writing the dissertation culminating in an oral defense.

All doctoral students are encouraged to gain experience as teaching and/or research assistants. Our Faculty of Graduate Studies was the first in Canada to offer graduate students the opportunity for a teaching practicum. Our students regularly take advantage of the weekly teaching development workshops offered at the university's Centre for the Support of Teaching.
