++++ The Frankfurt Institute of Cultural Anthropology and European Ethnology was founded in 1974 by Ina-Maria Greverus. She developed its programme in continuation of, but also in contradistinction to a longtime folkloristic tradition at the Frankfurt University. Professor Greverus introduced a new curriculum and research agenda based on advances in international social and cultural anthropology, and committed herself to the study of complex societies both within Europe, and in modern and modernising settings beyond the European context. The multi-semester research projects with students that constitute a central element of the institute’s curriculum were introduced and developed by her. This approach was carried on and developed further since Gisela Welz was appointed Professor in 1998. (source: internet)
