This complementary seminar to the lecture “Introduction to Social and Cultural Anthropology” is held in English language.
It has been especially designed to offer students the opportunity to begin their studies in anthropology and cultural research in English. Like all other seminars accompanying the lecture, it aims at giving an engaging and hands-on introduction into the world of anthropology. It addresses key approaches, questions and methods used in the discipline, and provides students with an initial ‘tool kit’ for studying anthropology and cultural research. At the same time, this seminar provides to opportunity to improve English skills in reading, writing and discussing academically in this field.
There are no requirements regarding the level of language proficiency needed. However, participants should be interested in doing the exercises in English.
