Visual Anthropology MA

Our Visual Anthropology master’s course will empower you to examine differences and similarities between cultures, so we can better understand the essence of what makes us human.<br/><br/>Visual methods are ideal for anthropology because they invite people who participate in our projects to express themselves in their own verbal and physical language, enabling researchers to present their findings with unmatched authenticity.<br/><br/>On this course, you’ll learn about cutting-edge ethnographic techniques using art, film, photography, music and a range of other media, drawing on a bank of fascinating projects produced at the Granada Centre for Visual Anthropology.<br/><br/>Regardless of prior experience, you’ll develop the skills you need to produce your own ethnographic films. Hence, this is the UK’s only visual anthropology course that is recognised by the Economic and Social Research Council and the Arts and Humanities Research Council as a professional preparation master’s.
