[Linganth] GSU MA in Anthropology

[Steve Black]

Dear all,
Please see below for an advertisement about my department’s MA program, and please feel free to share with any students who you think might be interested. Thanks!


I would like to alert you that the application deadline for Fall 2021 admission to Georgia State University’s MA program in Anthropology is approaching: applications are due by April 1, but applications received by March 1 will receive full consideration for graduate assistantship funding. Feel free to 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. We do not require the GRE! And we will he holding a Q&A on our Instagram story on Wednesday, February 15, at 12pm (@gsuanthropology).

Here is a link to our Instagram account: https://www.instagram.com/gsuanthropology/<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fgsuanthropology%2F&data=04%7C01%7Csblack%40gsu.edu%7Cc604ab70f19642b0157908d8cd09fb17%7C515ad73d8d5e4169895c9789dc742a70%7C0%7C0%7C637484790616098607%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=fV5rs7dCNasXUuF5K%2BkIv%2FcL6pNTDt2x0I6pi90Yogk%3D&reserved=0>
The Q&A will be accessible afterward on the Department of Anthropology's Instagram profile in the highlights section.

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 a range of 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.
