ANNOUNCING NEW M.A. DEGREE IN MEDICINE, SCIENCE, AND TECHNOLOGY STUDIES
The UC Irvine Department of Anthropology is pleased to announce the launch
of a new degree: a Master of Arts in Social Sciences with a concentration
in Medicine, Science, and Technology Studies.
This one-year program uses an interdisciplinary approach to prepare
students to respond to the significant and rapidly changing impact of
medicine and technology upon societies around the world. Students explore
issues such as global inequalities in disease burdens and health outcomes;
the ways in which race, class, and gender impact medical and scientific
knowledge and practice; the social, economic, and political contexts of
emerging technologies; and the impact of science and technology on bodies,
communities, and the environment. Admitted students will have the
opportunity to work closely with faculty within the Anthropology
Department and from around the University.
To Apply:
Applications for admission to the UC Irvine M.A. in Social Sciences
(Medical, Science, and Technology Studies) will be accepted until April
15, 2014, through the UCI Online Application for Graduate Admissions.
For more information about this new degree, please visit the department website or contact Angela C. Jenks at
