Prof. Dr. Akile Gürsoy Chair
The Anthropology program is based on the assumption that an understanding of today's societies requires comprehensive research and analysis of the many complex cultural dynamics, which underlie all societies. The aim of this program is to provide students with the theoretical foundation, research skills, and basic knowledge of different cultures that will enable them to study contemporary social and cultural problems, issues and phenomena from an in-depth and cross-cultural perspective. Anthropology offers a variety of historical and comparative approaches to the comprehension of cultural and physical forms, ranging from the study of human evolution to the development of an understanding of societies and their symbols. The undergraduate program designed to provide the broad multi-disciplinary foundations upon which the discipline rests.
Anthropology often leads to careers in research and/or teaching at both universities and museums. Positions in the other social science fields are also options for graduates. Equipped with both theoretical sophistication and sensitivity to the ethical issues inherent in social research, our students will have attained the skills necessary to formulate a problem, carry out social research successfully, and write a report or an ethnographic study. Above all, the department will give its students an in-depth familiarity with the qualitative and quantitative social research and a basic understanding of the concepts
Students of the Anthropology department will also be expected to carry out field research, write a graduation thesis, and before graduating have carried out some original research. Students will also be encouraged to become acquainted with the city of Istanbul, and to be involved in a constructive extra-curricular social activity.
