Course Overview

Anthropology serves social justice and human rights initiatives around the globe, faculty and students work hard to reflexively and critically examine our own department practices. Students and faculty actively work to support each other to make our community one that is guided and governed by principles of social equality and fairness.

You will find faculty and students who stand in solidarity with Native American, Latinx, and LGBTQ Communities and oppressed peoples in America and around the world. Our students and faculty understand that African American and other communities are brutalized by racist violence, terror, pain, and demise—and that resistance to and defiance of these horrors is essential. You will also find among us students and faculty who help us understand the historical depth and roots of today’s genocidal crises and systemic white supremacy as well as various modes of resistance to them across the centuries.
