Anthropology is the study of the origin, history, and nature
of people and cultures. It explains the relationships between
biology, culture, and the environments in which people live.
Anthropology addresses modern problems such as the integration
of cultural and ethnic diversity, the conduct of international
relations, human rights, and the management of environmental
and cultural resources.
The faculty of the Department of Anthropology are experts
in analyzing human differences in the context of the material
(political and economic) conditions of life. We are concerned
with the interaction of gender, race, ethnicity, class, and
other variables in human affairs, and with the consequences
of these relationships for social change and development.
Drawing on the resources of our Museum of

Anthropology, we are concerned with how the material world expresses
and sustains human relationships and ways of thinking.
