Who we are and what we do...
The Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology is a small department, brimming with enthusiasm. In contrast to other Dutch anthropology departments, its curriculum and research programme are characterized by thematic rather than geographic specializations. Religion and poverty & development have always figured prominently. Themes like ethnicity, gender and power have also claim an important part of the research and teaching curricula. The small size of the Department means that frequent face-to-face contacts between students and staff are common and as a consequence staff members are very committed to their students.
Since June 2009, the Department has maintained a weblog, StandplaatsWereld. The blog provides a platform for informative, provocative, or surprising opinions about topical issues in the Netherlands and the rest of the world, viewed from an anthropological perspective. Contributions in English are welcome.
