Location of Stockholm University
The Department of Social Anthropology at Stockholm University is committed to a global and comparative perspective toward the diversity of social and cultural forms of the contemporary world.
The programme provides a comprehensive advanced level education in Social Anthropology which will give thorough insights in anthropological theory and methods.
Compulsory courses are Philosophy of Science for Anthropologists, The History of Anthropological Theory, and Anthropological Methods. Elective courses reflect the research interests at the department and will vary between terms. During the second year, students get the opportunity to formulate a research project and carry out fieldwork or gain practical work experience before writing their thesis. The Master’s thesis concludes the programme, and is a 30 credit work written during the final term. The thesis topic is freely chosen in consultation with an advisor.
Undergraduate credits in anthropology are recommended but not compulsory. The selection is based on the quality, quantity and relevance of your previous studies.
Contents
The program is flexible and allows for either a research-oriented or an applied specialization. Students who chose the applied specialization take a reading course within an area of specialization and follow it with applied work period before writing their thesis. Those who chose a research specialization prepare a research project and take a course focusing on university pedagogy before writing the thesis.
Electives will be chosen from the advanced courses offered by the department. These courses will vary term by term, but will normally include two or more of the following:
* Anthropological Perspectives on Organizations, 7,5 credits
* Children and Anthropological Theory, 7,5 credits
* The Anthropology of Development, 7,5 credits
* Digital Anthropology, 7,5 credits

* Food and Identity: Cultural Aspects of People and Food, 7,5 credits
* Popular Culture, Representation and Cultural Politics, 7,5 credits
