IDEA: MASTER’S PROGRAM IN SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGY

Relevance

Social (cultural) Anthropology is one of the most popular humanities in scientific and educational context. The necessity for training of social anthropologists is determined by acute problems facing Russian society, including increasing social and ethnic tensions (even open xenophobia) caused by general social and economic instability and growing immigration from Central Asia and Caucasia. To solve these problems we need experts assistance, we need social anthropologists who can assess and respond to modern challenges and risks using modern knowledge. Their skills will contribute to prevent and resolve conflicts (ethnic, religious and cultural) and to plan long-term development strategies – in business, social and cultural spheres.

In 2010 Russian Ministry of Education approved a federal educational standard of higher education of master’s program № 032 400 – "Anthropology and Ethnology."

The master Social Anthropology program at the History Department at Tomsk State University is aimed for training such experts.

Purpose

To integrate Russian Social Anthropology Higher Education in international practices and approaches system
