General information about Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology
​
Itiwana is the study association of the study Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology (CA/DS in short). Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology is focussed on societies all over the world and their interconnectedness. How is cultural individuality defined in a world where flows of people, goods, and ideas become increasingly extensive? How does culture influence the ideals that people pursue during their lives? What does modernization mean and in which ways can the notion of sustainable development be given content? Anthropologists study these kinds of questions on the basis of fieldwork amongst other things and from a comparative perspective.
Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology qualifies students for diverse societal and commercial functions. Students from Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology in Leiden have found jobs in, amongst other things, municipal or national government, international organizations (sustainable development, human rights, assistancy, environment, etc.), the media (journalist, photographer) and business (advertising agencies, organizational advice, marketing research). In addition, a limited number of students opt for an academic career.
