EthnologyEthnology is the latest branch of study in the Department of Music Anthropology. Teaching at basic level was begun in 1994. As a subject, ethnology is quite wide: it includes courses in cultural anthropology, ethnography, folklorism, science of religion, cultural history and folk music. Ethnology was included in the curriculum mainly to provide an alternative subsidiary subject in particular for those students who have chosen the branch of cultural analysis in ethnomusicology. Students of other subjects have also chosen ethnology as their subsidiary subject. Ethnology deals with cultural development in Finland and in the wider world. Naturally, ethnology is closely connected with the archives of the Department of Music Anthropology which contain a lot of material about general tradition. Contacts with other tradition archives and departments of cultural research are used in the teaching of ethnology.
