Key Features

A strong and vibrant community in research and education, the Department runs the Institute for Cross-Cultural Studies (ICCS) and the Biological Anthropology Lab, and publishes two academic journals, Bigyo munhwa yeongu and Korean Anthropology Review.

Students organize and participate in undergraduate Anthropology clubs at Seoul National University and conferences, graduate workshops, and other department activities year-around. In 2016, the department became a recipient of an institutional grant from the Korea Research Foundation, BK 21 Plus.
