The Brunel University London is delighted to offer Social Anthropology Studentship for full time, fixed term study for 4 years to start on 1 May 2018 or as soon as possible thereafter.
The main project has two key aims: 1) to explore how global conservation is being re(con)figured and ‘scaling up’ to meet the challenges and possibilities presented by the so-called ‘Anthropocene’; and 2) to figure out ‘the Anthropocene’ by examining how it is experienced, conceptualized, produced, contested, or refused in multiple ethnographic settings.
