What is Anthropology and Ethnology?
Cultural Anthropologists and Ethnologists want to understand people and the way they organize socially, politically and culturally. Through long term fieldwork and ethnographic writing, we create knowledge about social forms and cultural expressions. With a focus on human beings in contemporary society, the department's research has great thematic diversity with research projects scattered all over the world.
