About
Anthropology
Anthropology is a social science discipline committed to the comparative and historical study of humankind. It is the broadest in scope and the most methodologically diverse of the social sciences. No human group, no matter where or when it existed, is off-limits to anthropological consideration. Likewise, the discipline exempts no aspect of the human condition from potential inquiry and analysis. The field provides pathways to careers in vocations as disparate as environmental policy, economic development and business, journalism, education, law, medicine and public health, as well as teaching and research.
This site will introduce you to the anthropology offerings at UAB and to the faculty who teach in the department. Take one of our mini-tours to learn where we work and what we are trying to learn. The site also provides information on the degree programs we offer and the courses we teach (with special links to syllabi and other material from current classes).
