General Description / Special Programs
  • Anthropology is the study of humanity in all its complexity. Through extended field-based research in globally diverse locations, anthropologists explore different cultural practices, beliefs, and social relations. We are interested in understanding what cultures share, how they vary, and how they change over time.
