M.A. Standards of Decision-Making Across Cultures (SDAC)
SDAC is a full time, four semester M.A. program supported by the Elite Network of Bavaria. This non-consecutive Master’s program draws from the fields of social and cultural anthropologies, political science, history, gender studies, economics, sociology, philosophy, and area studies. In SDAC, anthropology is the guiding discipline with ethnography and qualitative research as the main methods, however, all courses are taught in a spirit of multi perspectivity. This way, SDAC familiarizes students with a multiplicity of ways of thinking and developing contextual understandings about decisions, choices, and agency – especially in a (cross-)culturally oriented manner.
