Study
General information about Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology
Itiwana is the study association for the program Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology (CA/DS). This field of study focuses on societies across the globe and their interconnectedness. How is cultural identity shaped in a world where the flow of people, goods, and ideas continues to expand? How does culture influence the goals people strive for in life? What does modernization mean, and how can the concept of sustainable development be realized in practice? Anthropologists explore these questions through fieldwork, among other methods, and from a comparative perspective.
Career opportunities
The program in Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology prepares students for a wide range of careers in both societal and commercial sectors. Graduates from Leiden have found roles in municipal and national governments, international organizations (focused on sustainable development, human rights, humanitarian aid, environmental issues, etc.), the media (as journalists or photographers), and business (in advertising agencies, organizational consultancy, and market research). Additionally, a smaller number of students choose to pursue an academic career.
