Anthropology

Sociocultural anthropology studies the relationships of people in groups, focusing on understanding how people create, maintain, and change their social and cultural worlds. It examines aspects such as kinship, rituals, power dynamics, and everyday interactions within societies.

Some subfields of social anthropology include economic anthropology, political anthropology, symbolic anthropology, kinship studies, and cultural anthropology. These subfields focus on different aspects of human social life and cultural practices.

Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology was created in 1999.

William Wyse Professor of Social Anthropology was created in 1932.
