Cultural Anthropology

Subfield

Cultural anthropology draws from methodologies across the social sciences and humanities to understand the forces that shape human societies, past and present. The discipline emphasizes interpretive methods as well as participatory fieldwork (ethnography) brought to bear on the comparative study of societies past and present (ethnology). Our Department encompasses a wide range of theoretical orientations and has developed three topical specializations (Ecological Anthropology, Medical Anthropology, and Discursive Practices) as well as geocultural expertise in the cultures of Asia, Oceania (especially Hawai‘i) and the United States.
