Anthropology aims to deepen our understanding of humanity — in the past, present and future. Anthropologists work in a wide range of professional contexts, enriching our knowledge and addressing the pressing problems of our time. The Department of Anthropology thrives on collaboration, research, and sensitivity to what it means to be human. As our study of the human experience necessarily ranges from the scientific to the humanistic, we filter those research concerns through various areas of study within the department.
