Welcome to the Anthropology Department at WMU

Look around to discover a bit about the people who make up the department, the courses we teach, and the research we engage in. If you are new to Anthropology, consider it as a major or minor. If you are a prospective graduate student you will find much of interest and of use in these pages.

• Our program's core purpose is to provide students with anthropological knowledge and with critical thinking skills through teaching, mentoring, and conducting both scholarly and applied research.
• We see anthropology as a means to enhance the understanding of the human condition by integrating historical, cultural, and biological perspectives.
• Through teaching, research, and example we aim to broaden our appreciation of human diversity past and present; to explore issues of cultural and biological change; and to gain awareness of and affect the conditions that give rise to social differences and inequalities.
• The intent of these efforts is to provide students and faculty with an academic environment for liberal thinking that will encourage the appreciation and exploration of human diversity; the application of modern technologies to document and solve social problems; and respect for the diversity of ideas in teaching, research, and its practical applications.
