Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Social Anthropology

Dalhousie University

Our department is interdisciplinary comparative and critically engaged. Our graduate programs are small collegial and selective. We pride ourselves on the faculty support we offer our graduate students. Many of our doctoral students successfully secure scholarships from major granting agencies and go on to post-doctoral fellowships employment in academia research policy and the non-profit sectors.Our graduate students are active and engaged scholars who disseminate their research in a variety of ways. For example between 2009 and 2012 Sociology and Social Anthropology (SoSA) graduate students presented a total of 38 papers at conferences and workshops.The doctoral program is designed to be completed in four years although many students in our disciplines find that their fieldwork and writing require them to take a fifth or even sixth year to complete the degree.
