Certificate Program in Conservation Ecology The program is designed for students who wish to develop an area specialty that complements their primary degree program such as anthropology or law. The objectives of the program are to develop training which provides interdisciplinary skills in decision-making in the areas of conservation ecology and development, to develop research which provides hands-on field experience for students yet provides a service to communities in need, and to form linkages with conservation and development agencies in the US and abroad to enhance the experience of our graduates. Departmental
Emphasis in The Department views its mission as pursuing and disseminating anthropological knowledge of human cultural behavior and human-environment interaction across the sub-fields of biological anthropology, applied anthropology, archaeology, and cultural anthropology. Study of the patterns of food consumption by human populations in different biological and social environments and how human-environment interactions pattern the health, survival, and reproduction of human populations represent two foci of the biological anthropology program, for example. The applied program analyzes imbalances in resources, rights, and power. Within the sub-field of Biological Anthropology are various foci, including: (1) Nutritional Anthropology (study of the patterns of food consumption by human populations in different biological and social environments, and the evaluation of the adequacy of dietary patterns across and within populations) and (2) Medical Ecology and Demographic Anthropology (involving human-environment interactions that pattern the health, survival, and reproduction of individuals and populations). Applied anthroopology at UGA integrates anthropological perspectives and methods into solving human problems throughout the world; to advocate for fair and just public policy based upon sound research; to promote public recognition of anthropology as a profession; and to support the continuing professionalization of the field. UGA anthropologists demonstrate a particular capability in helping to solve human problems through building partnerships in research and problem solving; acknowledging the perspectives of all people involved; focusing on challenges and opportunities presented by biological variability, cultural diversity, ethnicity, gender, poverty and class; and addressing imbalances in resources, rights, and power. Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies CLACS brings Latin American and Caribbean culture to the University of Georgia (UGA)campus by sponsoring educational activities, artistic performances, interdisciplinary research, teaching, and public service projects, in coordination with Latin Americanists from UGA, other Universities, the community at large, and abroad. Among its objectives are to promote collaborative research and academic exchange among scholars and students with agreements with Latin American universities and to promote and participate in public service/outreach initiatives serving the Athens-area Hispanic Community. Georgia Museum of Natural History The Museum has 14 different collections including Archaeology, Arthropod, Botany Herbarium, Economic Geology, and Zooarchaeology. The Museum's Archaeology Laboratory houses over 3 million artifacts and specimens covering 12,000 years of human settlement in Georgia and the southeast. The Science Box Project is part of the Museum's educational outreach program. These boxes are designed to be used by teachers of grades K-8. Each box has a variety of materials on a specific natural history topic. Georgia Archaeological Site File The Georgia Archaeological Site File is the official state repository for information about known archaeological sites of all periods in the state of Georgia. Since its founding in 1976, it has become the primary source for documentation about Georgia Archaeology for all those interested in the archaeology of the region. During 2003, over 90 individuals from a range of CRM firms and institutions used the file and tours of the Laboratory of Archaeology, where the file resides, were given to a host of outside groups. Laboratory
of Agriculatural and Natural Resources The Laboratory is a locus of research activity on the human dimensions of agriculture and food systems and their impacts on the Earth’s natural resource base, especially soil and water. Housed in Baldwin Hall, the lab is integrated with the Sustainable Human Ecosystem Laboratory (SHEL) and engages in global projects, such as the World Geography of the Potato, and SANREM field projects in Ecuador and the Philippines. In addition, the laboratory has ongoing projects in the American south such as the Southern Seed Legacy and the Rivers of Time Experimental farm. Opportunities exist for postdoctoral research, graduate research, and training in agricultural and natural resource anthropology. The Sustainable Human Ecosystems Laboratory The Laboratory (SHEL or Ecolab) is dedicated to the interdisciplinary study of environmental decision making in the context of Global Change for the explicit purpose of understanding pathways toward the creation of sustainable humanecosystems. The lab is dedicated to promoting cooperation between external agencies ( public and private) and the University of Georgia. It actively seeks and undertakes projects funded by private and non-private agencies on topics which can benefit from the department’s research expertise. State Botanical Garden of Georgia The State Botanical Garden of Georgia is a 313-acre preserve set aside by the University of Georgia to foster appreciation, understanding, and stewardship of plants and nature through collections and displays, horticultural gardens, educational programs, and research. The Garden is a "living laboratory," a vital resource for the teaching, research, and public service missions of the University. Each year the State Botanical Garden offers a wide variety of educational programs and events - lectures, workshops, short courses, nature walks, and special events to the broader public. From March through May, for example, it offers field trips to students in grades Pre K-8. The Institute of Ecology is the primary academic unit for ecological research and teaching at the University of Georgia. As part of the Institute's public outreach, the River Basin Science and Policy Center seeks to integrate science and policymaking at an international, national and local level by (1) strengthening understanding of the relationship between land use and water resources through research and policy analysis and (2) enhancing cooperation among academic disciplines, government agencies, community groups, businesses, and citizens toward the protection of aquatic and terrestrial resources.
