Scholarships are available from the Grundtvig Program funded by The European
Commission (see below). Please note that the deadline for applying for these
scholarships is the 17th of September 2013.

Objectives and Rationale

From the very beginnings of anthropology the entanglements of sexuality
and morality have captured the imagination of scholars, challenging their
normative assumptions and calling into question their descriptive and
interpretative tools. What can be said of these entanglements at the
beginning of the 21st century, after decades of research on the matter?
Are there still unbroken taboos in the social sciences? How are we to
understand sexuality and morality, and how can these issues be
investigated? How are relations between sexuality and morality being
(re)defined? What is the role of religion, politics, and commerce in
(re)shaping these relations?
How can anthropology improve our understanding of such complex
entanglements?
