Duke’s Cultural Anthropology Ph.D. equips scholars to decode power, technology, and meaning through deep fieldwork and collaborative design. Doctoral candidates document gig-worker solidarities in Nairobi, co-create VR archives with Arctic climate migrants, and blend network analysis with participant observation to trace algorithmic governance. Public-scholarship studios translate dissertations into podcast series, museum installations, and policy toolkits.
