Description
During prehistory and the early modern period, Man was born into a collective community, but during ones life-time other social patterns developed and new human relations emerged. Cultural- and ethnic identity, hierarchies, gender identities, family structures and social networks were formed in daily praxis. All these identities were included in the social interplay that connected individuals and groups. This course gives deeper knowledge about how social identities can be studied through archaeology, texts and iconography. A central aim is to interpret and analyze human ways to categorize, identify and compare oneself with others in prehistoric and early historic societies. Identities is often in the eye of the beholder. In this course, you learn to understand the social organization of pre-modern Man through the eyes of the archaeologist by using material culture from all times.
Note!
This course is not open as a freestanding course next semester. It can be open for application within a programme or for students in an exchange programme. Please ask your academic advisor for information.
How to apply
Lund University uses a national application system run by University Admissions in Sweden. It is only possible to apply during the application periods: October–January for autumn semester and June–August for spring semester.
Extended application deadline
Sometimes the application deadline is extended for a specific programme or course. In these cases you will find the message "open for late application" by the programme/course information on universityadmissions.se. You apply with the usual application steps. As long as this message is showing, it is possible to apply, but late applications are processed in order of date, so it is still important to apply as soon as possible. Please note that if the programme/course does not have an extended deadline, it is not possible to apply late.
First or Second Admission Round?
All international students are encouraged to apply to the First admission round. This round takes place many months before the start of a semester and gives students the time they need to pay their tuition fees, apply for and receive their residence permit (if required), find housing, etc.
The Second admission round is an alternative for students from EU/EEA countries as they do not need a residence permit. Non-EU/EEA students will most likely not have enough time to obtain their permit before the start of the semester. However, even EU/EEA students are advised to apply during the First admission round, as some programmes can be applied for only in the January round. Also, this provides applicants with an admission decision much earlier, which is helpful in making decisions about their studies.
