Overview

The graduate degrees reflect the department’s interest and expertise in applied anthropology—the application of anthropological knowledge, anthropology-in-use, and practicing anthropology— in a variety of institutional and community settings.

Key Facts

Current faculty members represent two subfields of the discipline (archaeology and socio-cultural anthropology). Drawing their intellectual and applied orientations from training and application of the above subdisciplines, the faculty of the Anthropology program at University of Maryland also recognize the need to identify topics or problems where the expertise of individual faculty members can be applied in a manner that integrates the subdisciplines.

In this ongoing effort, the faculty has identified three areas of research concentration: Anthropology of Health, Anthropology of Environment, and Anthropology of Heritage.

The areas can be thought to contain and generate research problems of interest to the faculty’s experience and expertise within the subdisciplines. These problems can be addressed individually through socio-cultural anthropology and archaeology. However, the anthropological contribution to addressing these problems is enhanced by collaboration across subdiscipline interests and expertise.
