Program Description

Anthropology - the study of humanity in its broadest sense - is, according to the late cultural anthropologist Eric Wolf, “the most humanistic of the sciences and the most scientific of the humanities.” At Tulane, anthropology is divided into four subdisciplines: anthropological archaeology, biological anthropology, anthropological linguistics, and socio-cultural or cultural anthropology. These subdisciplines or fields are interconnected. Anthropologists at Tulane often straddle the boundaries of the subdisciplines, and they collaborate with scholars from other departments and schools of the University. Anthropology is perhaps the world’s oldest transdisciplinary field of study. At Tulane, anthropologists study topics as seemingly disparate as two million year-old fossil hominins in Africa, capuchin monkeys in Costa Rica, the impact of Islam in West Africa, Mayan hieroglyphic texts, political movements in Mexico, indigenous use of the environment in the Amazon, variations in spoken New Orleans English - and much more!
