Anthropology

As an anthropologist, you study what it means to become a person in Canada and around the world. By systematically observing and investigating cultural life in diverse human societies, youпПХll understand the ways in which much of what we assume to be natural is, in fact, constructed by our culture.Once you discover that family, art, politics or economics take many possible forms, your notion of what it means to be a person expands and grows. Through our courses, youпПХll examine the self and identity, look at large-scale research projects across cultures, and apply our methods to nearly any place пПС from Africa to the Middle East, or the Caribbean пПС to nearly any topic from medicine to gender, or myth.WeпПХre known for encouraging our students to participate in local, national, and international research. You'll work on your own projects, and have the opportunity to work on faculty research. Anthropology teaches you critical skills that equip you to make informed decisions in any profession.
