Anthropological Archaeology
Anthropological archaeology is the study of humanity from deep antiquity to the recent past.
Biological Anthropology
Biological Anthropology is devoted to the study of biological history, evolutionary relationships, and diversity that characterizes the human species.
Cultural Anthropology
Cultural Anthropology relies on in-depth research practices with individuals and communities to explore what it means to live life as a human being in the current world.
Disasters, Displacement, & Human Rights Program
The DDHR Program promotes holistic training, collaborative research, rigorous theoretical approaches, and creative and innovative scholarly work on historical and contemporary problems.
Multi-Field Approach
Anthropology is a holistic study of the human species, past and present. Anthropological inquiry ranges from the scientific (from genomics to pollen analysis) to the humanistic (from poetry to human rights). This is because people are neither simply biological organisms, nor are they purely social/cultural beings, obliging anthropologists to take an eclectic approach to study humans.
Research is intrinsic to our work.
Anthropology faculty and students engage in impactful research in Archaeology, Biological Anthropology, and Cultural Anthropology.
