GRAFO

The Research Group in Fundamental and Oriented Anthropology (GRAFO), created in 1999 at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB), is dedicated to the study of the living conditions and relational structures of culturally diverse groups or vulnerable populations, among others, as well as their relationship with the environment, sociocultural institutions and society in general.

Recognized by the Consolidated Research Group (SGR) by the Generalitat of Catalonia, GRAFO stands out for its double focus: a basic research that delves into the theoretical and conceptual foundations of anthropology, and an applied research oriented towards the resolution of concrete problems in various social and cultural spheres.

Our research lines provide topics such as parenting, social contexts, communities and socio-ecological relations, with a clear commitment to the transfer of knowledge. Within the framework of applied research, we develop focused projects in areas such as personal and community contexts of support, natural resource management, sustainability, or parenting in vulnerable environments, working closely with actors and social and institutional agents to promote concrete solutions and long-term supply.

Internally, the group is structured around egoLab-GRAFO and getp-GRAFO.
