Sociology and Social Anthropology at Krea is rooted in ethnographic and sociological research: we explore what we have in common and what makes us different – challenging traditional assumptions. We are a dynamic and active research group with long-term fieldwork as our strength. We are involved in ongoing research, in both well-established as well as in emerging fields. Our specialisations and interest areas cut across Economic, Political, Environmental, Sociology and Anthropology, Gender Studies, Science and Technology Studies (STS), Media Studies, Cultural Studies, Urban Studies and Agrarian Studies. We work at the intersections with other disciplines, including gender, history, economics, political science and environmental and urban studies.
We offer a mix of thematic as well as regional and transnational opportunities and the teaching in the department is grounded in a strong tradition of fieldwork-based research. The department has faculty with diverse academic backgrounds and strong regional, national and international links offering a wide-range of cutting edge topics. We’re happy to welcome students from all over the world to our vibrant, welcoming and inclusive department.
