The Centre for Anthropology and Mental Health Research in Action (CAMHRA) is offering Master's scholarships to people who would not usually study anthropology or ethnographic methods due to existing time, financial and social constraints. The Centre for Anthropology and Mental Health Research in Action (CAMHRA) is a world-leading research centre dedicated to the anthropological study of mental health, housed within SOAS. Through ethnographic research, education and public engagement, CAMHRA contributes distinctly anthropological perspectives to a growing global understanding of how societies can understand and respond to mental distress and build effective systems of care. Scholarships to study at CAMHRA at postgraduate, doctoral, and post-doctoral levels are open to people from a wide range of professional and academic backgrounds starting September 2024. This is primarily through our cutting-edge MA in Medical Anthropology and Mental Health, which includes opportunities for original research and knowledge exchange, and for which scholarships will be offered from 2024. CAMHRA will also build a specialist MRes and PhD programme that will foster doctoral research in anthropology and mental health. Scholarships for MA and MRes positions will be available from 2024, and doctoral scholarships will be available from 2025. CAMHRA Scholarships are designed to offer opportunities for people who would not usually study anthropology or ethnographic methods due to existing time, financial and social constraints. Specifically, we seek applications from candidates who are currently working in or have lived experience of accessing mental health services, as well as those from underrepresented groups. We hope to support such candidates in building distinctive anthropological research skills, and in applying them to their lifeworlds or professional contexts through an MA or MRes dissertation project. In your application, please specify the experiences that you bring to the programme, and the research project that you hope to conduct. Scholarships availableThere are three CAMHRA Scholarships available for 2024/25. Each full-time award covers 2024/25 tuition fees in full. For part-time students studying over two years, the award will provide funding for 2024/25 and 2025/26 tuition fees. Eligible programmes
