on Anthropologically Connected
Although the Department's programs cover the traditional four subfields of anthropology, research emphases have been grouped in thematic and unifying foci that bridge these subfield boundaries. Among these themes are: a) Political Economy (focusing on the state level as it impinges on local level institutions and practices, and the contributions made by local institutions and practices to the reproduction of state and supra-state systems); b) Development Anthropology (emphasizing the political ecological study of how agrarian and urban populations of formerly colonial countries are incorporated into the peripheries of the world economic system including how the processes of economic development, often supported by local elites, governments, multilateral financial institutions, and multinational businesses, create victims as well as beneficiaries, and it considers the interrelationships between development and the environment) and c) Cultural Resource Management (involving the application of archaeological, historical, and anthropological research to serve the information and management needs of public agencies and non-governmental organizations dealing with cultural resources). Biomedical anthropology focuses on the interface between biomedicine and the behavioral and social sciences that shapes health status. It emphasizes biomedical, biobehavioral and epidemiological approaches to understanding the transmission and dissemination of disease and the cellular and molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis and the dynamic interaction of biological and sociocultural factors that shape health outcome. Graduate Certificate in Global Studies Combining resources and faculty from the graduate programs and research activities of various departments, including Anthropology; the Certificate focuses on the study of social economy, power, environment, and culture over long-term historical time and through global space. Through courses, graduate seminars, and other activities, the Graduate Program in Global Studies seeks to offer students the opportunity to develop intellectual breadth as well as interpretive and analytical skills needed to study global processes. Graduate
Certificate in The Middle East and North African (MENA) Program coordinates study of the Middle East, North and Sudanic Africa, and European countries that have extensive Islamic contact. Graduate work for certification in MENA studies may be taken in history, political science, anthropology, comparative literature, sociology, and classical and Near Eastern studies. Graduate
Certificate in The Graduate Certificate allows graduate students to receive special recognition for work in Latin American and Caribbean area studies. Students who receive the certificate in effect have two credentials: the MA or PhD in an established discipline, such as anthropology, and a certificate in Latin American and Caribbean area studies. The graduate component of EvoS is designed to be taken in conjunction with a student's major concentration and results in a certificate in Evolutionary Studies. Virtually all subjects relevant to biology and human affairs are being approached from an evolutionary perspective. In addition, EvoS exemplifies the concept of integration across disciplines that is becoming the wave of the future in education, research, and many professions outside the ivory tower. The Program provides a professionally supervised opportunity for non-archaeologists to participate in excavations at nationally important sites. Each summer, sessions are held for community members and local educators. Volunteers bring a range of skills and experiences that are integral to the program's success. In return for their hard work and enthusiasm, participants gain a greater appreciation for the history and prehistory of the region, as well as the practice of archaeology and historic preservation. The Public Archaeology
Facility (PAF) is a research center within the Department of Anthropology
specializing in Cultural Resource Management. Among its goals are
to: 1) Provide federal, state, local, and private groups within
the Eastern US with professional archaeological surveys in compliance
with all applicable state and federal legislation; 2) Train archaeologists
(undergraduates and graduates) to be field and research specialists
within a cultural resource management (CRM) framework, and 3) Practice "Public
Archaeology" through community programs and preservation initiatives. Fernand
Braduel Center for the Study of The Fernand Braudel Center was founded in September 1976 to engage in the analysis of large-scale social change over long periods of historical time. Its research working groups consider the "Crisis in the World-System" and involves collaborative groups at the Univ. of Loughborough, UK; Cendes in Venezuela, and CADIS in Paris. The Center directed the Gulbenkian Commission on the Restructuring of the Social Sciences. The Commission issued a report that it hopes will serve as the basis for debate about possible forms of organizational restructuring, in the light of the evolution of the social sciences worldwide. Institute for Primary and Preventive Health Care The Institute is a research center that fosters interdisciplinary research focused on improving health and health care. The objectives of the Institute are to stimulate and execute interdisciplinary biomedical and biobehavioral research into the causes and consequences of health and disease, to conduct research into the implementation, organization and effectiveness of primary and preventative health care regimens and to promote and sponsor health education and community outreach programs.
