Research
Social anthropological research in Bayreuth takes many different forms - each of the professorships has its own profile. At the same time, the research interests of the individual professorships overlap in terms of content, regional preference, and specific fields.
Two topics of great interest across the board at the moment are political anthropology and the study of the structures of non-industrial societies.
The place where the greatest number of these areas of interest intersect geographically is in Africa.
