Welcome to the Department of AnthropologyIn Memoriam
It is with great sadness that we report the passing of our friend and colleague, Elizabeth Brumfiel, who died on Sunday, January 1st at the age of 66. Liz was one of the world’s leading scholars of Aztec archaeology, whose work explored the dynamics of social and economic inequality in human societies. She was a pioneer in feminist anthropology, exploring issues of gender and class in the archaeological record. Liz has been respected and beloved in our Department and throughout our field. We will miss her deeply. (Click here to read the full text.)

Anthropology Course Schedule - Spring 2012 Anthropology Yearly Course Planner 2011-12 The world is changing and
shrinking. People from differing cultures, races,
classes, and backgrounds meet and interact more often
and more intensely than ever before. Anthropology,
the study of humankind in broad perspective, is
devoted to the proposition that the differences among
us are understandable and enriching. It takes effort
and discipline, however, to obtain such understanding
and to appreciate human differences and similarities.
Anthropology is devoted to discovering and explaining
how humanity has developed differences and
similarities whenever and wherever these have
occurred.
