Departmental & Inter-Departmental Programs

Joint Degree Program in Anthropology and
Population and Family Health Sciences

The Departments of Anthropology (Arts and Sciences) and Population and Family Health Sciences (Hygiene and Public Health) have established a joint PhD program in Anthropology and Population and Family Health Sciences. The work of scholars in both fields has become increasingly interdisciplinary. While demographers are adapting their models of reproductive decision-making to allow for cultural knowledge and local history, anthropologists are examining the national and international bureaucracies that increasingly affect the most intimate aspects of people's daily lives, no matter where they live. The challenge to link aggregate data with the life circumstances of individuals, and to comprehend both holistically, is methodological as well as theoretical.

Child on the Wing Project

The Child on the Wing: Children Negotiating the Everyday in the Geography of Violence focuses on the mobile trajectories of children’s lives under conditions of ongoing political violence and economic uncertainty. A major goal is to initiate a discussion between those engaged in academic research and those engaged in advocacy. We think that there is a strong case for blurring the divide between academic research and advocacy and between social sciences and humanities. Towards this end, we hope that our project will contribute to the planning and policy work of institutions that seek to aid children in difficult situations. Some recent work on human rights education with street and working children has shown how the child’s own narrative can be an organizer for incorporating new ideas into earlier frameworks.
