Ich freue mich auf Ihre Mitarbeit und verbleibe mit besten Grüßen und wünsche allen ein schönes Studienjahr.
The lecture 300444 Cultural Anthropology and History of Ethiopia begins digitally on October 7, 2022 at 08:00 a.m. at the University of Vienna, in Evolutionary Anthropology Seminar Room 1.2 Address: 1030 Vienna, Djerassiplatz 1, Floor: OG01, No.: 1.004

The lectures are held through digital teaching, and I would therefore like to ask all students to work on my lectures independently and prepare themself for the exam.
At Moodle Uni-Wien you will find all written documents, films and audio materials about Ethiopia and thirteen modules in total, as well as more than a hundred questions or topics for the exam.

The lecture brings comprehensive knowledge of the diversity of Ethiopian cultures, social and material aspects of human existence in East Africa. It is also important to convey how meaningful the connection between anthropology and the history of Ethiopia is, as it is the oldest whole skeleton ARDI, LUCY, etc. of human nature.

I look forward to your cooperation and remain with best regards and wish everyone a nice academic year.
