Head of Studies Ayo Wahlberg to become acting head at the Department of Anthropology after management turmoil. This was decided shortly before a dialogue meeting organized by students.
International students who stayed in Copenhagen during the shutdown had lots of worries, a survey shows. Their well-being should be a joint responsibility, says the head of the Department of Anthropology.
Anthropologists are combining big data and their field notes to map out what it is that constitutes a good party. They hope to be able to test classic social science theories.
While most of the academic staff at UCPH are men, there are more female students. Is this a problem at all, and is one imbalance worse than the other?
Anthropology attracts elite students with sky-high grade point averages from their secondary schools. Now the department is to drop all grades from the first year so they can protect the students’ mental health. They need to learn to take chances and learn to make mistakes.
