Institute
As an empirical cultural science, Cultural Anthropology and European Ethnology deals with everyday cultural and social forms of expression in contemporary and historical lifeworlds. These forms of expression are studied in connection with social processes of transformation. The discipline uses contextual ethnography and cultural analysis as a means of examining ways of life and discourses, images of self and other, media, objects and practices as well as spaces of movement and encounter.
The Institute offers bachelor's, master’s and doctoral programmes in European Ethnology. More...
Further, the Institute runs exchanges with numerous partner universities via Erasmus. More...
