Cooperative project ANARCHIE begins its fourth cycle

On 1 November 2017 the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology (MPI) and Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) welcomed the newest cohort of doctoral students in their joint graduate school ANARCHIE. The school was established in 2012 as an interdisciplinary project between anthropologists, archaeologists, and historians. To mark the beginning of the four-year programme, the MPI hosted a special lecture by Russian anthropologist Prof. Dr. Victor Shnirelman on "Eurasian Theory or Eurasian Discourse: the many faces of Eurasia".
