Departmental & Inter-Departmental Programs

Master of Arts in Visual Anthropology

The goal of USC's Master of Arts in Visual Anthropology (MAVA) program is to give students competence in the production of scholarly and professional ethnographic films. The MAVA is an interdisciplinary program. Training in film production is provided by the School of Cinema-Television.

Certificate in Visual Anthropology

Students can be admitted to the certificate program in visual anthropology after they have completed their Ph.D. qualifying examinations. The certificate is an interdisciplinary program, with training in digital video production provided by the USC School of Cinema-Television. Professional skills in video production are designed to help students present their research results to a wider audience and to use visual media effectively in communicating ideas about anthropology.

Program in Medical Anthropology

The medical anthropology program's goals include research and pedagogy that examines the body, illness and healing from a cultural perspective. This approach includes comparative studies of folk healing systems, curing rituals, reproduction and childhood, aging and the elderly, and western biomedical practices. The program currently consists of graduate seminars in medical anthropology and graduate and post-graduate research projects. The medical anthropology faculty have created an interdisciplinary faculty research initiative on the study of health, culture and humanities in conjunction with Aarhus University in Denmark.

Center for Visual Anthropology

The primary goals of the Center for Visual Anthropology are: to promote the incorporation of visual modes of expression into the academic discipline of anthropology; to promote mutual understanding and collaboration between professionals in the visual media and in anthropology; to create an awareness of the anthropological perspective in documentaries produced for mass audiences; to improve the materials and techniques available for using film in teaching anthropology; to encourage the collection, archiving and analysis of visual documentation for anthropological research. The Ethnographics laboratory is a part of the Center for Visual Anthropology which provides archival and computer facilities for students and faculty who work with nonlinear editing systems and interactive media in anthropology.
