School of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography The School of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography (SAME) is renowned for its broad and interdisciplinary approach to anthropology, its commitment to long-term ethnographic fieldwork, and its association with the Pitt Rivers Museum and the anthropology of visual and material culture. It has also become known as a centre for medical and ecological anthropology, migration studies, evolutionary anthropology, cognition and culture, and science and technology studies. Home to over sixty members of academic staff and researchers, over a hundred doctoral students in two doctoral programmes, eight Master’s programmes, and two undergraduate degrees, Oxford anthropology is one of the world’s largest and most exciting centres for teaching and research in the discipline. The School brings together a number of institutes and centres. These include the Institute of Human Sciences (IHS), home to our interdisciplinary undergraduate programme and research on the evolution of human behaviour drawing on a diverse range of approaches, including biology, primatology, palaeoanthropology, cultural evolution, and psychology. The Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology (ISCA) is a world-leading centre for comparative, empirically grounded research in anthropology, including ethnographic, historical, medical, material, visual and bio-cultural approaches. The Centre on Migration, Policy and Society (COMPAS) provides a strategic, integrated research approach to understanding contemporary and future migration dynamics in the UK and EU. The Centre for the Study of Social Cohesion (CSSC) conducts research on the causes and consequences of social cohesion – the bonds that hold groups together, from families and gangs to nations and world religions. The Institute for Science, Innovation and Society (InSIS) researches and informs the key processes of social and technological innovation that are critical to business, governments and civil society in the 21st century and beyond. The School of Anthropology has close links with the Pitt Rivers Museum, which houses one of the world’s greatest ethnographic collections. The School strives for a culture that is transparent, inclusive and supportive for all its staff and students. We have achieved Bronze Level Athena SWAN accreditation, and we are committed to supporting all staff who wish to undertake a rewarding career whilst maintaining a balance with their home and family lives. More information about the School can be found at www.anthro.ox.ac.uk. Social Sciences Division The University’s academic departments and faculties are organised into four large groups, known as Academic Divisions (Social Sciences, Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences (MPLS), Medical Sciences, and Humanities). The divisions are responsible for academic strategy and operational planning, oversight of the teaching and research of their constituent departments and faculties, and for personnel and resource management. The social sciences at Oxford are distinctive for both their depth and breadth, with over 1,000 academic and research staff working across fifteen departments, faculties and schools. The Division is a world-leading centre of research and education in the social sciences. The Times Higher Education (THE) University Rankings placed the University of Oxford as number one in the world for Social Sciences in 2018 and 2019. REF 2014 confirmed Oxford as the UK powerhouse for research in the social sciences, accounting for more 4* research than any other institution. Our academic and research staff and students are international thought leaders, generating new evidence, insights and policy tools with which to address some of the major global challenges facing humanity, such as sustainable resource management, poverty and forced migration, effective governance and justice. As well as active interdisciplinary links with researchers in other divisions at Oxford, we engage and collaborate extensively with other universities and a wide range of governmental and non-governmental practitioner communities such as law, business, public health and welfare, international development and education around the world. The Division has an extensive portfolio of external funders, partners and supporters, with competitively-awarded external research income exceeding £50 million per year and philanthropic income over £25 million a year. As part of our commitment to equality of opportunity, eight of our departments have achieved bronze Athena SWAN awards: the Blavatnik School of Government, Economics, Education, International Development, Law, Geography & the Environment, Anthropology & Museum Ethnography and the Saïd Business School, with all our other departments either in the process of applying or scheduled to do so shortly. The Division delivers an exceptional range of high-quality educational programmes all underpinned by the innovative research being undertaken by our academics. The student body is made up of over 2,000 undergraduate students, nearly 3,000 students studying postgraduate taught programmes and 1,200 postgraduate research students. The programmes we offer are wide-ranging, often interdisciplinary and include professionally-oriented provision in areas such as business, law and education. The Division is home to several of Oxford’s most widely recognised teaching programmes, such as Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) at undergraduate level; and at the Masters level programmes such as the Bachelor in Civil Law (BCL), Environmental Change and Management, International Relations, and Social Data Science.
