摘要：Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia is the first university in Malaysia to have established a Department of Anthropology and Sociology. Its establishment is in line with the broader development related to the teaching and dissemination of social science knowledge in the country. After 35 years of its establishment, what can be said about the Department (now called Anthropology and Sociology Program) in terms of its impact and contribution, courses offered, training provided, challenges faced and such? Also, what of its future? This article intends to reconstruct the past while constructing the present in order to reflect upon the future of the program and disciplines, particularly as found in UKM. For this purpose, the author had adopted a reflexive approach. The article begins with discussing the history of the establishment, development and contribution of the Department of Anthropology and Sociology and ends with looking at its future prospects vis-`a-vis UKM in particular and the Malaysian society in general
