From ANSO to the World: Careers and outcomes
What can you actually do with a degree in anthropology and sociology?
In this edition of Thinking Out Loud, we sit down with Kevin Merkelz from IHEID Career Services for an informal conversation about the many directions ANSO graduates take after the program—across international organisations, research, policy, consulting, the private sector, and more.
We'll explore how ANSO skills translate into different fields, share examples of where graduates land, and dig into practical advice for internships, early career steps, and longer-term planning. Whether you're considering the program or already enrolled, come ready with your questions—look forward to seeing you.
No pressure to be formal. Just bring your curiosity.
