er audience. The lecturers are specialists in the fields of the anthropology of sci-
ence, space and time, the anthropological study of marginalization in European so-
cieties and in the modern global and post-socialist world. The program emphasiz-
es the understanding of the relationship between individuals and practices, factors,
structures, and processes of the cultural environment, understanding the relation-
ship between natural and cultural in people and different interpretations of influenc-
es between the specifics of the natural environment and the formation of cultural
characteristics. The program contents are anthropologies of the global south, an-
thropologies of religious, ritual, and other practices, ecology, and natural space, as
well as health, ethnicity and human rights, and migration processes.

Students are our partners

The programs of the Department of Anthropology and Cultural studies run in tight
cooperation with the students. We conduct lectures and learning in e-classrooms.
In addition to theoretical work, the program includes practical training - working
in small groups of students allows direct contact of participants. During the stud-
ies, students develop their own interests and carry out research projects. Certain
projects are published, which is possible thanks to our partners. In addition to the
classic fieldwork, we train students to perform in front of an audience. They are
practically trained in extracurricular activities and are acquainted with the work of
potential employers, non-governmental organizations, or companies.

Students are our pride

Maja Ćurčić and Marko Galič obtained their master’s degrees from the Faculty of
Humanities program Cultural Studies and Anthropology in 2012, and their doctor-
ates in 2019 at the Department of Sociology at the prestigious New Zealand Univer-
sity of Auckland. They work with Maori and Pacific experts, primarily in research-
ing colonialism, precariousness, and structural violence. Maja’s thesis on the Maori
incarceration includes interviews with former Maori inmates and female inmates,
while Mark’s doctorate is based on the ethnography of precarious workers. Maja
works as a researcher at the Department of Maori Studies, and Marko lectures at
the university, where in 2016 he received the award for best assistant.
