History and heritage is another<br />
key theme and the School hosts<br />
the leading journal, History and<br />
Anthropology. Other research<br />
addresses the anthropology of<br />
natural resources and tourism;<br />
and post-socialist economies<br />
and societies in Europe and<br />
Central Asia.<br />
We have a strong interest in<br />
visual anthropology. Our work<br />
on identity and locality links with<br />
growing strengths in kinship and<br />
parenthood. This is complemented<br />
by work on the language of<br />
relatedness, and the cognitive<br />
bases of kinship terminologies.<br />
A final focus concerns science,<br />
medical anthropology and<br />
contemporary society. We work<br />
on the anthropology of business,<br />
biotechnology and mental health.<br />
Related research focuses on<br />
policy and advocacy issues,<br />
and examines the connections<br />
between public health policy<br />
and local healing strategies.<br />
Kent is also well-known for its<br />
pioneering engagement with<br />
the anthropology of Europe.<br />
