Thank you for considering the Graduate Program in Anthropology at McMaster University! Graduate study in Anthropology at McMaster is based on the closely matched interests of faculty supervisors and students. The department has a complement of 17 full-time faculty, along with a number of adjunct faculty and associated members from different departments (e.g., Geography and Earth Sciences, Religious Studies). Our faculty and graduate student research encompasses North America, Indigenous Study, Europe, Latin America, Africa, and Southeast and East Asia. We only offer places to students who have a faculty member who is willing to act as supervisor, so if you have not already done so, I would encourage you to contact supervisors you would like to work with. A list of supervisors and their research interests can be found at the following link: https://anthropology.mcmaster.ca/people
