Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology: Specialisation Global Ethnography

Are you eager to conduct your own three-month research project? Do you have excellent analytical, organisational and communication skills? Are you creative, flexible and hard-working? Then Global Ethnography is the right specialisation for you!

Today people are increasingly connected across places, which redefines the local in terms of the global. Our globalising world demands comparative and holistic approaches to cultures and societies. In this specialisation you will acquire the methodological skills for a localised study of global connections, both in far away places but also closer to home in your own society.

Experienced scholars will teach you how to investigate, analyse and report on pressing and contemporary societal issues, by using in-depth ethnographic research methods. You will learn how to situate the everyday practice of individuals within the complex processes of the social changes and global challenges that confront societies worldwide today.

Multimodal approaches have become increasingly important components in ethnographic research for collaborating with research communities and expanding the range of scholarly outputs. Visual Ethnography highlights the vital role anthropology plays in the greater public.
