人类学文学士

人类学家讨论以下问题：人类起源和进化，行为生物学，人类生态学和适应，性别与性，人类认知和情感，健康与疾病，社会正义与不平等，社会行为与人类多样性，媒体与传播以及生物学的交集，环境，政治，经济和宗教生活。我们多样化的理论和方法论工具包使人类学家能够针对已存在和正在出现的社会问题提出创新的方法，并探索和扩大人类知识的范围。在调查当今国家，社区和科学探索面临的紧迫问题时，人类学对于在埃默里及其周边地区发生的许多引人入胜的智力对话至关重要。许多专注于人类学的学生还满足其他部门的专业要求或完成双专业，并成功地学习了
Anthropology is the scientific and interpretive study of humankind, from its beginnings millions of years ago to the present day. The discipline of anthropology begins with a simple but enormously powerful idea: that any particular aspect of human biology and behavior can be fully understood only when it is placed against a background provided by the full range of variability found in human biology and behavior worldwide. This is the comparative perspective, the attempt to explain both the similarities and differences among people in the context of humanity as a whole. Anthropology is therefore composed of multiple subfields. We offer courses in cultural, biological, linguistic, medical, and psychological anthropology. Anthropology majors receive a sound liberal arts education, which provides a needed edge in today's competitive world of careers. Anthropology's scope and intellectual roominess can prepare students to make objective, far-sighted decisions at the professional level in any career field. Anthropology graduates go on to careers in professional anthropology, medicine, law, social work, public health, environmental studies, teaching, translation, laboratory research, international business, and government. Emory students benefit from a variety of excellent resources for studying anthropology. Students of Anthropology have access to the following laboratories: the Laboratory for Comparative Human Biology, Laboratory for Darwinian Neuroscience, Human Health Laboratory, Media Publics and Critical Discourse Laboratory, Paleolithic Technology Laboratory, QuantitativeComputational Anthropology Laboratory(QCAL). Students also have opportunities to be involved with ongoing research at the Sloan Foundation's MARIAL Center (Myth and Ritual in American Life), the Yerkes National Primate Research Center, the Center for Behavioral Neuroscience, the Michael C. Carlos Museum and The Carter Center. For those students interested in medical anthropology, Emory is affiliated with the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Rollins School of Public Health. The department sponsors the Beta chapter of the Lambda Alpha National Anthropology Honors Society, graduates numerous Anthropology honors students each year, and invites all Emory students of Anthropology to participate in the Emory Anthropology Student Society, which organizes exciting events and activities that foster a strong sense of community in the Anthropology department.
