Working Paper Series

Working Paper Series

Welcome to the digital repository of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, which houses an array of open-access working papers spanning sociology, anthropology, and related fields. This collection features contributions from colleagues, students, visiting scholars, and seminar speakers. Our primary objective is to foster a space for meaningful academic dialogue and gather invaluable feedback from our readers.

About our Working Paper Series

Central to our initiative is the commitment to nurturing substantial academic exchanges that transcend the disciplinary boundaries. These working papers encapsulate a spectrum of ideas, reflections, and research discoveries, standing as a testament to the intellectual vitality of our community. Adhering to open-access principles, all papers are freely downloadable. In the spirit of academic integrity, we kindly request that you include appropriate citations when integrating content from these working papers into your publications.

 

We extend a warm invitation for you to explore, engage with, and contribute to the intellectual wealth embodied by our working paper series. Your insights and feedback are integral in shaping the ongoing narrative of academic exploration. Together, let us embark on a collective journey of knowledge-sharing to advance research boundaries.
