General Description / Special Programs
The Anthropology Program at Auburn University takes a four-field approach to the study of anthropology, offering courses in archaeology, biological anthropology, cultural anthropology and linguistic anthropology. The faculty have expertise in North American archaeology, human osteology/paleopathology, environmental anthropology, gender and sexuality, Native American societies, the African diaspora, and Asian cultures. They teach a range of courses that deal with archaeology, human variation, climate change, environment, development, transnationalism, population health, language, gender, marriage and family, warfare and violence, anthropological theory, and other topics. Special resources at Auburn include archaeological and biological anthropology laboratories, a federally- approved curation facility for archaeological collections and ethnohistorical material, partial HRAF, summer field school in archaeology, and lab opportunities in archaeology and biological anthropology. Students have opportunities for involvement in research projects in environmental anthropology, bioarchaeology, medical anthropology, archaeology, and relevant topics of their choosing.
