The Anthropology Department at the University of St Andrews is diverse in terms of research interests^[1] and forward-looking in terms of its approach to anthropology^[2]. This diversity can be confirmed by the sheer number of research areas within the department^[3]. There has been a lot of recognition given to the department by research councils such as the Scottish Funding Council (SFC) in the last years and the department has achieved high standings in the latest Research Assessment Exercise (RAE)^[4], something that highlights its quality.
