Social anthropology
By using participant observation as a method, we study human experience and interpretation.
Social anthropology is the study of human beings in a cultural and comparative context.
The areas and research questions that the social anthropologists at the Department of Sociology have particularly focused on include:
- ethics and globalization
- human rights
- migration
- conflict and violence,
- crime and moral regulation,
- corruption,
- policy,
- nationalism and
- social movements
- historical anthropology; and
- material and visual culture.
The geographical specialization covers among others:
- Africa
- The Middle East,
- North America,
- Scandinavia,
- Russia and
- The Pacific Ocean.
