At the same time, students are required to fulfill the basic departmental requirements in their chosen sub-field of anthropology, ensuring well rounded and high quality training in general anthropology. Master
of Public Health in Behavioral This joint degree program prepares the student for research, teaching, and public policy planning relating to the cultural aspects of health and health care in the U.S. or in an international setting. This joint degree program is designed to provide the student with broader expertise, theoretical perspective, and methodological skills than might be provided by either an MPH or anthropology degree alone. . Joint Degree in Medicine and Bioethics Health practitioners are increasingly aware that the practice of medicine often entails balancing conflicting interests and making difficult decisions that involve an appreciation of their ethical dimensions and cultural contexts. The objective of this educational program is to provide the interdisciplinary background in medicine and medical ethics to address those issues and situations that require knowledge of and expertise in both. Graduates will be academically prepared for professional roles as bioethicists in healthcare institutions, in public policy working for government or voluntary associations, or in the practice of medicine. Graduate

Among the topics explored in faculty research and course offerings are: ethnic conflict and violence; social movements and new states; gender and nationalism; ethnicity, drugs and class; social stratification and expressive culture; ethnicity and transnationalism; postcolonialism; folklore and cultural diversity; nationalism and the body; citizenship, nationalism and law; and political economy, development and the state. To promote a greater understanding of Asia in a global and comparative perspective, using new technology to more effectively reach a wider audience, both on campus and in the broader community and region. The preK-16 Education program, facilitates a variety of workshops, events, and cultural performances, during the University of Pittsburgh's regular academic year. Once a month, for example, students from the the University of Pittsburgh's various language disciplines (Chinese, Indian, Japanese, and Korean) participate narrate and act out stories to todlers and elementary children from the Pittsburgh region. Center for Latin American Studies Established in 1964, the Center for Latin American Studies (CLAS) at the University of Pittsburgh develops and coordinates resources on Latin America and the Caribbean that contribute to training experts on the region through high quality programs of graduate and undergraduate education. CLAS provides opportunities for cultural and educational experiences that realistically reflect Latin America and the Caribbean to the K-12 educational community, business and professional communities as well as to the general public as part of its Outreach. In fulfilling this mission, CLAS offers K-12 professional development workshops designed to enhance Spanish language and social studies educators' teaching abilities on this world region and to assist them in globalizing the curriculum of primary and secondary schools. Center for Russian and East Asian Studies For over a decade, the region that includes the former Soviet Union and the states of Central and Eastern Europe has been undergoing fundamental and, at times, tumultuous change. In the United States, a new generation of scholars, familiar not only with the area and its history, culture, and language, but also trained in social science approaches and methods, is addressing the dynamics of this change. The center's joint activities with the many local ethnic organizations range from annual Slovak and Ukrainian heritage festivals, to student programs, to targeted professional development and technical assistance. For example, REES has assisted the Pittsburgh Council for International Visitors with coordinating the training of Ukrainian government, business, media and judicial officials facilitated by Pittsburgh's "sister city" relationship with Donetsk, Ukraine. Center for West European Studies The Center for West European Studies (CWES) at the University of Pittsburgh promotes the study of Western Europe by coordinating existing departmental activities, and by developing new courses, lectures, symposia, and conferences with international participants. The Center for West European Studies sponsors outreach programs and initiatives aimed at the K-12 (kindergarten to 12th grade) community, the post-secondary community, and the general public as part of its mission. CWES K-12 teacher workshops, for example, help Pennsylvania teachers earn Act 48 credits for the professional development requirement of their public school certification. Center for Bioethics and Health Law The Center is founded on the premise that the questions posed by contemporary healthcare dilemmas are not the province of any single discipline but require the collaborative integration of insights garnered from history, law, medicine, philosophy, and the social sciences. The Center is not a policy-making or advisory body. Rather, it is committed to in-depth analysis of the complex legal and ethical issues surrounding the health care process. The Center sponsors a Consortium Ethics Program for various hospitals in the Pittsburgh area. Carnegie Museum of Natural History Carnegie Museum of Natural History conducts scientific inquiry that creates knowledge and promotes stewardship of Earth and its life; builds strategic collections to preserve evidence of that knowledge; and engages the public in the excitement of scientific discovery about the evolutionary, environmental, and cultural processes that shape the diversity of our world and its inhabitants." The Section of Anthropology houses over 100,000 ethnological and historical specimens and 1.5 million archaeological artifacts. Included are major research collections from Central Africa, Asia (China and Japan), Australia, North America (Arctic, Southwest, Plains, Northwest Coast), and South America (Amazonia). Special exhibitions exist on ancient Egypt, Artic life, and Native American Indians.
