Our department has trained undergraduate and graduate students in the real-world applications of anthropological method and theory for almost 50 years. We were the second anthropology department in the USA to offer an MA in Applied Anthropology. Our new BA- and MA-related initiatives in Public Anthropology, our support for critical studies in archaeology, and our Anthropology/Sociology joint PhD track in Race, Gender and Social Justice prepares students to address issues of public policy, community struggle and other locally defined concerns in their academic projects, and for employment in activist domains outside of academia. Our faculty and students come from different race, ethnic and class backgrounds, nationalities and sexualities.
