Socio-Cultural Anthropology

Socio-Cultural Anthropology is the study of contemporary human cultures. UBC anthropologists conduct a wide variety of research projects among urban populations in the Vancouver area, First Nations of North America and indigenous peoples in South America, Africa, Siberia, Japan, and the South Pacific Islands. We offer courses on the cultures of these regions, and we explore general themes of culture and economy, politics, ethnohistory, religion, oral traditions, expressive culture (art), and linguistics. Students also receive training in anthropological research techniques in our ethnographic methods courses.
