Social and Cultural Anthropology: The Key Concepts

Nigel Rapport feels he has come to the right place to further his research in cosmopolitanism. Rapport has joined Concordia’s Department of Sociology and Anthropology from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. It’s a change from a small medieval town that he describes as “Cambridge by the sea” to a large city with an urban campus. The British anthropologist has been made the Canada Research Chair, Tier 1, in Globalization, Citizenship and Social Justice. He is also the founding director of the Concordia Centre for Cosmopolitan Studies, launching research programs and workshops that promote an appreciation of the rights, the capacities and the experience of the global individual.
