The Joint UCB-UCSF PhD in Medical Anthropology stands as a trailblazing program within the field, recognized nationally and internationally. This unique program delivers exceptional, comprehensive training for doctoral candidates while maintaining disciplinary leadership. It distinguishes itself through unparalleled strengths in critical medical anthropology, psychiatric/psychological anthropology, gender and queer studies, disability research, and examinations of health in relation to citizenship, migration, and globalization. The program further specializes in analyzing violence as a medical concern (both in war and peace contexts), science/technology/modernity studies, medicine-social theory intersections, and groundbreaking ethnographic research. Berkeley's core faculty operate as the Critical Studies in Medicine, Science, and the Body research collective, bridging medical anthropology with science/technology studies, postcolonial theory, disability research, critical development/humanitarianism studies, psychological/psychoanalytic anthropology, and linguistic anthropology.
