Granada Centre for Visual Anthropology

 

The Granada Centre for Visual Anthropology is committed to the practice-based use of sensory media  - notably film, photography and audio recording - for teaching and research in social and cultural anthropology, drawing its inspiration not only from academic sources but also from documentary cinema and from visual and sound arts.

Founded in 1987, the Centre offers a broad range of teaching programmes, from summer short courses to PhDs, with various Masters programmes in between. So far more than 250 students  have passed through the Centre. The staff and research fellows of the Centre are also engaged in research projects using sensory media all over the world. In any given year, the Granada Centre produces over 30-40 documentary films of various lengths, as well as a broad variety of other sensory media projects.

Granada Centre graduates reflect on their time as students.
