Course content
What are the relationships between theoretical perspectives, concepts, and empirical and analytical methods in social anthropological research? Through course work, you are challenged to identify and problematize how anthropological knowledge is developed, from field observations to analysis and representation. Through detailed studies of local life and comparison you will obtain knowledge about different societies, cultures and humans, and in addition a deeper understanding of how different parts of a society are connected.
Learning outcome
Upon completing this course, you have developed basic knowledge about the relationship between theory, methods and empirical research. You will get a holistic understanding about the ongoing interaction between empirical knowledge, theory and the anthropological field method. In this course you will attain skills which you can use to discuss current cultural and social questions from a social anthropological perspective.
