Welcome
The London Anthropology Day is an annual university taster day for Year 12, 13, FE students, careers advisers and teachers.
The event is held at the British Museum's Education Clore Centre. On the day, participants get to learn what anthropology is about, the types of careers anthropologists do, as well as gain hands-on experience of what it is like to study the subject at university. Anthropology lecturers from all over the UK provide interactive workshops on the day. Students are able to learn about the different types of university degrees and the various specialisations of different universities. The event also provides participants with the opportunity to look around the Museum’s “ethnographic” (anthropological) galleries and interact with anthropology students who are volunteers for the day. The day is free and open to Year 12, 13 and FE Students, UCAS Advisers, AimHigher co-ordinators and teachers interested in using anthropology in the classroom.
The next London Anthropology Day is July 8th 2010. Bookings will open in April so make sure to re-visit the site around that time in order to register well in advance for the event. LAD 2009 was a brilliant success with over 300 participants attending and 16 universities with representatives from England, Ireland and Wales, making 2009 a truly national Anthropology event.
On this website you can find out more details about the day, book a free place, request publicity material for your school or college and find out what on earth anthropology is and why you might want to study it! You can also follow links to the participating universities' web-pages where you can find out all about the particular anthropology degrees they offer.
This event is organised by the Royal Anthropological Institute and the British Museum in association with university anthropology departments.
