Programs offered
The Department (SSoM) offers graduate studies in two programs:
- two in medical anthropology given jointly with the Department of Anthropology
- two in medical sociology, given jointly with the Department of Sociology.
In each program, the student may work towards the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees. All degrees are awarded by the relevant Faculty of Arts department. For further information regarding these departments, please consult Anthropology, History, or Sociology sections.
The Department (SSoM) is interdisciplinary, having faculty in the fields of medical anthropology, medical history, and medical sociology. In its programs of graduate studies, it attempts to provide two things: a training that is solidly grounded in the discipline of the chosen program, i.e. in anthropology, history or sociology; and, through seminars and interaction with Department members and other graduate students, an exposure to the other disciplines that are represented in the Department. The Department aims to instill in its graduates a combination of disciplinary competence and interdisciplinary perspective.
