Anthropology
High-level training for research, teaching, and the transformation of complex human reality.
Description
Amid Guatemala's multicultural context and a deeply divided society, professionals are needed who can develop responsibility and ethical commitment in transforming complex human reality.
Through specialization, research, and constructive proposal, this doctorate seeks to respond to the disenchantment with rationality; to the passage from Nietzsche's "God is dead" to Foucault's "Man is dead"; to the loss of the sense of history and the manageable nihilism that reinforces immediacy; and to a pluralism of values understood as axiological relativism.
Objectives
- Train high-level professionals for research, teaching, and project creation across the different areas of anthropology.
- Provide critical and creative elements that allow graduates to address today's sociocultural problems.
- Develop the capacity for original research that advances the anthropological disciplines.
- Strengthen initiative in developing research projects with rigorous scientific methodology.
* Four monographic courses are taught per year, each requiring original research. Graduation requirement: doctoral thesis.
