人类学文学士

约翰·霍普金斯大学的人类学系是该国为数不多的专门研究社会文化人类学的学科之一，社会文化人类学是该学科的四个传统子领域之一。人类学专业将对社会和文化理论的研究与对日常生活，社会组织，文化和政治表达以及想象形式的实证研究相结合，涵盖了过去和现在人类文化的多样性，包括学生自身的文化。
As a student, youll learn from faculty who are leading debates on many of the issues that have shaped the field. And youll have the opportunity to dig into topics like new religious practices and religious strife, globalization and competition, law and the problems of governance, new diseases and medical interventions, global social movements and transnational media forms, and environmental crises such as climate change.<br>The anthropology major combines the study of social and cultural theory with the empirical study of everyday life, social organization, cultural and political expression, and forms of imagination across the diversity of human cultures past and present, including those of the students themselves. The department particularly focuses on the challenges of our own moment in history: new religious practices and religious strife, globalization and competition, law and the problems of governance, new diseases and medical interventions, global social movements and transnational media forms, environmental crises such as climate change, and further challenges offered up by turbulence and destitution. In all cases, acute awareness of shifting contexts in which institutions are embedded, and the impact of global, regional, and national politics on social life, is built into the methodology and the theory engaged by faculty and students. We see teaching and research as integrally linked, and invite undergraduate students to participate in research as they take introductory and advanced courses in anthropology. The Trouillot Essay Prize is a competitive award granted each spring to the best undergraduate essay in anthropology. Undergraduate coursework offers an introduction to the basic methodologies and theories of contemporary anthropology through discussion and directed research on these and other topical issues. Student advising helps interested students to develop sequences of complementary courses tailored to their own interests. In addition, majors may choose to pursue an honors program.
