Discipline of Sociology & Anthropology
The Course of Sociology and Anthropology in the Department of Social Sciences share common philosophical roots and concern for the social and cultural conditions of human life although the two fields have developed independently over the last century. Historically, Sociology exists more on the modernized social structure, while Anthropology focuses on primitive culture. Such distinctions of subject matter no longer prevail, and the line between Sociology and Socio-cultural Anthropology today is neither firm nor fixed. The Special Degree in Sociology and Anthropology builds on the overlapping concerns and distinctive strengths of Sociology and Anthropology. Instead of maintaining separate curricula in the two fields, the department has developed a single curriculum dedicated to providing solid preparation in social theories and qualitative and quantitative methodologies.
