Adam Mickiewicz University
Adam Mickiewicz University is one of the largest and top academic institutions in Poland. The Institute of Anthropology and Ethnology in Poznań was established in 1919 alongside the founding of the University. It is thus the oldest and one of the largest anthropological departments in the country, with twenty-five full-time faculty members. Read moreStudents and doctoral candidates are trained both in Polish and English, the latter within the CREOLE/Cultural Differences and Transnational Processes two-year MA programme in Anthropology. The Institute has received a national certificate of excellence in education in the field of Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology.
Chaired by Prof. Michał Buchowski, the Institute ranks among the top anthropological centers in Central Europe. The faculty members actively participate in well-known international and national organisations. Besides conducting extensive research throughout Poland and Europe, the Institute has substantial experience in non-European studies. Its researchers, postgraduate, and graduate students have conducted ethnographic fieldwork in Asia, Africa, the Americas, the Caribbean, Australia, and Oceania.
The faculty members are particularly involved in the projects implemented by two important university research centres: the Centre for Migration Studies and the Centre for Energy and Environmental Challenges.
Poznań is the cradle of Polish statehood: it hosts the oldest Polish cathedral (from 968) and the tombs of Poland’s first rulers. The city was also the site of the key events in the newest history of Poland, including the successful Greater Poland Uprising (1918–1919) and the ‘Poznań June 1956,’ the first workers’ protest against communist rule.
