Description de la formation

The Master in Anthropology and Sociology is a programme designed for students interested in the comparative study of global issues across national borders and beyond the opposition between centre and periphery. It examines in a critical way international relations and development with the goal of questioning totalising views of globalisation and the conventional North-South divide. Courses in the programme engage with theoretical approaches and methodological tools in anthropology and sociology in order to enable students to explore several key themes: development; the state and international governance; violence and conflict; rural-urban relations; migration; global health and biomedicine; law, market and labour; inequality; gender; environment; the politics of images.
