Welcome The Anthropology Department specializes in social-cultural anthropology, one of the four traditional subfields of the discipline. A distinctive feature of Hopkins anthropology is our insistence that social and cultural studies of specific populations be situated historically and comparatively in relation to global political economy. For the last 25 years, Hopkins faculty and alumni have contributed significantly to the development of a historical perspective within the discipline. We approach cultural creations as embedded in socio-historical processes, as realized and transformed in daily practices. Hopkins anthropology necessarily uses many disciplinary lenses. Our training and teaching includes linguistics and a specialized attention to language. Notes of Interest |
