UMass Boston
Anthropology studies people in all their cultural, social, and biological complexity. The discipline's attention to issues of cultural diversity, conflict and cooperation, identity, health and health disparities, and heritage politics in both Western and non-Western regions combines with the discipline's holistic, evolutionary, deeply historical, critical, and cross-cultural approaches to offer students powerful resources for understanding current trends that affect their workplaces and their communities. The courses embrace the interdisciplinary breadth of the field, exploring issues ranging from the composition diversity of local neighborhoods to the struggles of indigenous people across the globe, from the potential of individual action to the power of institutional and social structures, and from the rise of ancient civilizations to the impact of modernity and environmental change on the health and well-being of populations people today.
