call for papers

The Department of Anthropology was established by late Prof D.N. Majumdar in the year 1952. Earlier, from 1928 it was in the Department of Economics and Sociology as a Postgraduate optional paper on Cultural Anthropology. With the increasing popularity of Anthropology, an introductory course was started in B.A. consisting of a paper each on Prehistory, Physical Anthropology, and Cultural anthropology. For several years it is being taught in nine colleges affiliated to Lucknow University. Two more colleges have recently been added to the list. Post graduate courses were started soon after. The thrust areas of research are Ethnographic Research, Peasant Society studies, Tribal &Rural Development, Human Genetics/Variations, Social- Cultural Anthropology, Human Growth & Nutrition, RCH, Forensic Anthropology, Mass Media, Agriculture Research, Linguistic Anthropology and Economic Anthropology.

Ethnographic museum of the Department of Anthropology has contributed a lot in enriching the name and fame of the department at global level during the days of late Prof. D. N. Majumdar who took personal interest in promoting and strengthening the museum. The museum has more than 3000 cultural items and prehistoric stone tools etc. collected from all tribal areas in India and some areas of cultural significance abroad. Exhibition of the same are held from time to time and greatly appreciated by national and international scholars. The photography section of the museum is an added feature recently constructed and rejuvenated. Special contributions of the Department The Lucknow University Anthropology Department is one of the third oldest in the country and until the last twenty years, the only one in the state of UP to impart post graduate and degree level teaching in all the major branches of Anthropology From its inception in 1952, the greatest task before the department was to train young academically minded people in an entirely novel profession, capable of conducting teaching and research programme in such a way as to benefit the state and the country. Anthropologists are employed in large numbers in the Anthropological Survey of India and they also constitute research personnel in many scientific organization such as ICMR, CSIR, ISI, DST, TISS. They have also been holding key positions in Registrar-general of India, National Museum, Museum of Man, UP DESCO, SGPGI. They also work for key organizations such as National Institute of Health and Family Welfare, Population Research Centres, Demographic Research Centres, Social Sciences and Social Welfare institutes. They also constitute a large portion of the manpower in most NGOs. It has been the mission of the department right from the beginning to produce a very large portion of this work force so that Indian anthropology has a major contribution to make in the world scenario. With a view to achieving the above objectives, the teaching programme in the department has been constantly updated for quality and contemporary issues in the subject. Each year, the department sends a term of students of M.A. II social anthropology to a tribal area for supervised field work. The students are trained to collect ethnographic data through empirical research. They are trained in anthropological research techniques. This is the first step for the social research and many students take up full-length research projects after this exposure and training. The number of students has increased from 15 in 1960s to 45 in 2002. The group B students in anthropology are trained for physical and biological anthropological research, through similar supervised field work. They get the opportunity to use sophisticated tools of statistical and laboratory data analysis, in the preparation of the resultant research/field report. Through the various research projects undertaken by the teaching faculty in the department, the department has kept constantly in the forefront of current research in the social, and biological sciences.
