Social and Cultural Anthropology with focus on Africa

At the Professorship of Social and Cultural Anthropology with a focus on Africa, we research and teach on a variety of topics related to the African continent, its diaspora, and its relations with Europe. In teaching, the professorship participates in a variety of B.A. and M.A. programs of the Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences. In research, our goal is to contribute to a reconfiguration of African studies and many of us are part of the Cluster of Excellence Africa Multiple. The professorship also maintains international collaborations with partner institutions in Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa, Tanzania, and Chad.
