The Department of Anthropology is one of the country's leading graduate and undergraduate centers for cultural anthropology, archaeology, linguistic anthropology, and biological anthropologythe four principal subfields studied in the undergraduate curriculum. The department considers its greatest assets to be the various individual areas of faculty expertise: archaeological specialties such as medieval archaeology and European, Near Eastern, and South Asian prehistory, biological anthropology areas such as molecular primatology, primate behavioral ecology, and paleoanthropology, linguistic anthropology foci such as discourse analysis and language socialization, and sociocultural anthropology specialties such as the ethnography of North America, Africa, India, China, the Near and Middle East, Russia and the former Soviet Union, the Caribbean, Latin America, Europe, Australia, and the South Pacific. Major theoretical emphasis is on the systems of thought and symbolic representation of the self and society, the relation between female and male domains of interaction, changing patterns of social organization and hierarchy within small-scale societies, urban settings, and bureaucratic institutions, medical anthropology, evolutionary approaches to the study of primate and human origins, religion, art, science studies, race and ethnicity, and the problem of ethnographic representation in film and other media.
