AANB05044U Danish Culture and Society
The course introduces you to Denmark through the eyes of anthropologists. It does so by introducing students both to the discipline of anthropology and to Denmark as an ethnographic field. Danish society will be explored through some of the main research areas in the anthropology of Denmark, e.g. the welfare state, sociality, religion and identity, migration and integration.
By the end of the course the student should be able to:
• Identify and formulate central anthropological questions within
the subject of Danish culture and society.
• Critically discuss concepts and theories related to the subject.
• Work analytically with a subject chosen from the course
