Polish term

kulturoznawcze

Polish to English Social Sciences Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc.
An academic field of study and research mentioned by at least one of the participants in an anthropology/history/museum studies research study as his/her career. I have also seen it as a university department in the form "kulturoznawstwo," i.e., "Instytut Kulturoznawstwa UAM."
I know that it means something along the lines of "cultural studies scholar," but am wondering:
1) if there is a better, more accurate, or more commonly used translation;
2) what, if any, are the differences in connotation, implication, etc. between the Polish-language "kulturoznawstwo" and the English-language "cultural studies";
3) what would one call a person engaged in this field of study (i.e., how would one translate "kulturoznawcze" as it refers to a person)?
Thank you!

cultural anthropology, history of culture

It should really be the first one, but form what I know, especially in the European context, it may be more of the history of culture, as a noun. As an adjective, you can create one from those, depending on the context.

Kulturoznawcze is an adjective in the plural form.
