CREOLE is an innovative two-year degree, funded under the EU SOCRATES Programme, where students are required to spend two of the four semesters at European Partner institutions. At present, there are five participating universities: Universität Wien (Austria), the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (Spain), Université Lumière Lyon 2 (France), the Univerza v Ljubljani (Slovenia), the National University of Ireland, Maynooth (Ireland) and Stockholms Universitet (Sweden). The list of participating institutions will increase in the coming years.


Contents

The course as a whole is thematically oriented toward Anthropology as a comparative enterprise, while developing the theoretical and methodological tools necessary to successfully pursue anthropological research either at Maynooth or another institution.

The course comprises Anthropological Theory & Ethnographic Practice, composed of four half-semester modules. Along with a guest lecturer series and our Departmental Seminar, titled The Comparitave Context I and II, students must choose two optional modules per semester, one of which, titled Creole as a Model for Culture, is required of all CREOLE students.

Moving through the course, CREOLE students, in consultation with the Postgraduate Director, must concentrate on two out of three thematic areas: New Identities, Material Culture and Consumption, and Visual & Popular Culture.

CREOLE students also sit in a student-centred Research Presentation Seminar, where issues of proposal writing, funding of research, research ethics, access issues, and methodologies are discussed.

Students without previous experience in anthropology may also be required to sit extra courses from our undergraduate curriculum. During the summer, all CREOLE M.A. students will come together for a two-week long Intensive Programme with established researchers and academics from around Europe.
