Heir to a tradition that dates back to the creation of social sciences courses at FFLCH-USP, the Program was structured in 1972 from an area of ​​concentration in Social Anthropology, offering training at the master's and doctoral level, and standing out, since then, by training professionals who work in teaching and research institutions in Brazil and abroad.
