Maynooth University houses the only Department of Anthropology in the Republic of Ireland.
Anthropology is the study of people and what they do, wherever in the world that takes us. Our staff bring the world into the classroom and teach students to understand local problems in a global, cross-cultural context.
Is in OÉ Má Nuad atá an t-aon Roinn Antraipeolaíochta i bPoblacht na hÉireann.
Déanann antraipeolaithe staidéar ar dhaoine agus ar an méid a dhéanann siad, ar fud na cruinne. Tugann ár mbaill foirne an domhan mór isteach sa seomra ranga agus múineann do na mic léinn conas fadhbanna áitiúla a thuiscint i gcomhthéacs traschultúir agus i gcomhthéacs domhanda.

The Centre for Global Development
Operating under the auspices of the Department of Anthropology, the Maynooth University Centre for Global Development facilitates research, partnerships and solidarity for a just, peaceful and sustainable world and critical education in international development. Its unique contribution lies in its multi-disciplinary and critical focus on global development concerns and issues which supports ‘globally engaged and socially conscious citizens, committed to a better society and a more sustainable world’ (Maynooth University Strategic Plan 2023, p.7).
International Development is concerned with the development of people all over the world. Studying International Development enables people to critically engage in learning for a better world - a world of equality, sustainability, diversity, respect and justice for all. As such, it builds on the work of the Sustainable Development Goals, making critical connections – between local and global issues, the environment and development, people and power, and between learning and action.
