Our Work 

Faculty and students in the Anthropology Department are engaged in individually-run and collaborative research projects geared toward understanding and potentially solving the complex social problems besetting the region, nation, and world. Our work spans many areas, including:

• Anthropology of Work and Organizations
• Anthropology & Development
• Environmental Anthropology
• Feminist Anthropology
• Food Anthropology
• Human Rights
• Medical Anthropology
• Migration, Refugees, & Humanitarianism 
• Religion, Identity Politics & Critical Race Studies
• Urban Anthropology 

While each of these interest areas includes a list of the most relevant faculty in terms of their current research and teaching work, many of our classes, projects, and research agendas cut across multiple interest areas.
