Department of Anthropology
an•thro•pol•o•gy: the broadly-based study of humankind that draws its methods from both the sciences and humanities and includes the fields of cultural anthropology, archaeology, biological anthropology, and linguistics. Vanderbilt's Department of Anthropology emphasizes these subdisciplines to achieve a better understanding of the cultures of the world, past and present. The members of the faculty are internationally prominent for their research and publications on the ancient and modern native cultures of the New World, especially Mesoamerica, the Andes, and Amazonia. The department maintains research interests and active field programs in Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Argentina, and Chile. Members of the department and its students participate in the activities of the Center for the Americas, the Center for Latin American and Iberian Studies, the Center for the Study of Religion and Culture, the Robert Penn Warren Center for the Humanities, and the Learning Sciences Institute. These affiliations enhance and enrich undergraduate and graduate teaching of anthropology at Vanderbilt.
