• Welcome to the world of anthropology, where we study all aspects of human life, from our biological evolution to our modern societies, religions, languages, and economies. Our courses offer a cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary perspective that many students find both eye-opening and inspiring.
  • Among our faculty are experts in the study of Islamic societies, including those found in today’s hot spots like Iran, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Pakistan, and Turkey. Other areas of faculty expertise—like the effects of religion on politics and society, democratic transitions, and evolutionary biology—are at the forefront of current news stories.
  • Our department offers undergraduates the opportunity to learn from leading figures in their fields. Faculty members are accessible and involved. Students are always welcome to stop by department offices during scheduled hours.
