Anthropology

Through teaching, research and example the Anthropology program at Western Michigan University aims to:

• Broaden our appreciation of human diversity, past and present.
• Explore issues of cultural and biological change.
• Gain awareness of and affect the conditions that give rise to social differences and inequalities.

Students and faculty are provided with:

• An academic environment for liberal thinking that will encourage the appreciation and exploration of human diversity.
• Respect for the diversity of ideas in teaching, research and its practical applications.
• The application of modern technologies to document and solve social problems.

We create a distinctive environment for learning, thanks to the collective talents of our world-class faculty. We want you to meet them and learn from them.
