The Department

The Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology in Freiburg focusses on global social and (inter)cultural dynamics. It is characterized by research on global issues and a broad spectrum of courses on Asia, Africa and Latin America. Both teaching and research at the department are excellently linked to a wider interdisciplinary and international network. Within the offered courses at undergraduate as well as post-graduate level, students acquire methodological, theoretical as well as hands-on expertise, which qualifies them for various relevant fields of work within society and the global world.
