RT Journal Article T1 Public Funding of Research into Ethnological Activities in Andalusia (Spain): Boosting the Academic Career of Researchers A1 Jiménez de Madariaga, Celeste A1 García del Hoyo, Juan José AB The advent of democracy in Spain and the establishment of the different autonomous communitiesmarked the beginning of a process to transfer political, economic and other competences over Cultureand Cultural Heritage. Following its creation in 1984, the Ministry of Culture of the AndalusianAutonomous Government incorporated a Directorate-General for Cultural Assets into its organisationalstructure and embarked on an ambitious programme of actions to support Andalusian historical heritage,including creation of a management structure, enactment of a specific heritage law and budgetallocations for protection tasks. From the outset, a type of heritage little known until then emerged:ethnological heritage. Dynamic actions were also promoted to fund research into this area, includinggrants for ethnological activities, financing for publications and funding for ethnological symposiums.This paper analyses the different ethnological activities carried out and their funding, and assesses theextent to which this investment favoured the professional development of teaching staff in the field ofSocial Anthropology in Andalusia, specifying the marginal effects and differentiating them accordingto gender and university size using binary choice models (Logit).
