Overview

Each subfield focuses academic activities around particular faculty strengths. The Social and Cultural Anthropology faculty, along with faculty in Linguistic Anthropology, conduct research and offer courses in four broad intellectual clusters: Medical Anthropology, STS, Health, and the Environment; Labor, Precarity, Politics; Mobility, Migration, and Citizenship; Language, Media, and Circulation.

Key Features

The Anthropology program at the University of Pittsburgh emphasizes comparative study of the emergence and development of complex societies, from their initial foundations in hunter-gatherer behavior to their manifestation as states and empires.

Biological Anthropology provides students with the bioarchaeological background to address themes of health, identity, and disparities in the past. All four paths of study are embedded in a context of anthropological training of broad theoretical and geographical scope.
