What can you study?

As part of your Anthropology Arts program, you may focus your studies in one of the subfields of anthropology, or you can pursue generalist anthropology.

 

Linguistic anthropology is the study of human communication across the globe, attempting to understand how language/linguistic practices intersect with cultural processes, worldviews, ideologies and identities.

 

Sociocultural anthropology is the study of human individuals and societies, their behaviours and beliefs, and culture. Our strengths include political, legal, and environmental anthropology as well as the anthropology of health.

 

Generalist anthropology refers to a broad grounding in the various subfields of Anthropology.
