Cultural Anthropology

The general goal of the program is to give relevant knowledge to students about the common universal human characteristics and values in their diverse and complex manifestations from the perspective of cultural anthropology.Cultural anthropology is based on critical and interpretative thinking and uses the approaches and methodology of social sciences. Cultural anthropology has an applied perspective; methodologies include interpretation and field research.Anthropologists aim to understand societies and cultures in their everyday life, the micro and personal levels of social interactions and cultural communication. Besides, anthropologists interpret their micro-focusing research in a holistic way with comprehensive analyses of the historical and sociological contexts of their field.
