[Linganth] MA in Anthropology at Georgia State University

[Steve Black]

Dear Colleagues,
I’m writing to ask for your help in sharing information about the Georgia State University’s MA Program in Anthropology. It’s not too late to apply, and we do not require GREs as part of our application. The deadline for Spring 2021 admissions (start date in January 2021) is November 1.
While I am the only linguistic anthropologist in the department, we have a vibrant Applied Linguistics department where linguistic anthropology students can receive additional training in Linguistics and Sociolinguistics as part of their MA degree in Anthropology.
Please pass on this information to your professional and departmental listservs, and do inform any undergraduate students of yours who might be a good fit for us.
Here are a few key facts about our program:
- We are a four-field department: the faculty includes sociocultural anthropologists, archaeologists, biological anthropologists, and a linguistic anthropologist. We are recruiting graduate students in all sub-disciplines.
- Despite this broad representation, our faculty and students find common ground around a number of themes, including but not limited to: medical anthropology and forensics, material culture and museum studies, urban and applied anthropology, biocultural approaches to race, food anthropology, and the anthropologies of Latin America, Europe, and the United States. We offer a concentration in Museum Anthropology and a Graduate Certificate in Ethnography.
- With 13 faculty members and approximately 50 graduate students, we offer a space for intellectual collaboration in the heart of downtown Atlanta. This is a supportive community of teacher-scholars and diverse urban dwellers. Faculty have active, funded research agendas and provide close mentoring to their MA advisees, who typically conduct independent field research to complete the MA. Others complete internships at organizations and agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control.
- Our graduates go on to work in fields from public health to refugee resettlement to museums or marketing research. Others enter PhD programs in anthropology – often with full funding. This is an excellent program both for students who wish to enter professional fields immediately following the MA and for those who aspire to pursue doctoral work but may not yet have the background, skills, and professionalism to do so.
