Centers, Institutes, Schools and Museums with Anthropology Faculty that Emphasize Public Outreach

Peabody Museum of Natural History

The more than eleven million specimens in the Museum’s collections are cared for under the supervision of curators in ten divisions including Anthropology, Botany, Entomology, and Invertebrate Zoology. Each year, the Peabody Museum provides educational programs on biology, paleontology, geology, ancient civilizations and social studies to more than 30,000 students, elementary through college, from Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York and Rhode Island. All programs draw on the Museum’s exhibits to meet the increasingly sophisticated needs of science and social studies education.

Council on East Asian Studies

For over forty years, it has promoted education about East Asia both in the college curriculum and through lectures and workshops, conferences, cultural events, and educational activities open to faculty, students, and the general public. The PIER (Programs in Educational Resources) for East Asia works to strengthen the understanding of East Asia -- China, Japan, and Korea. PIER-East Asian Studies has two primary goals: (1) to facilitate and enhance learning and teaching about East Asia for K-12 and college teachers, educators, and media specialists, and (2) to design and lead training and educational programs for business and the media that will enhance their international and intercultural understanding.

Council on Middle East Studies

As a National Resource Center for Middle East Studies, the Council in addition to research and educational efforts, offers an annual lecture series, publications, travel fellowships, and support for a collection in the Yale Library. Through its community outreach program, the Council works with local, regional and national K-16 educators and students as well as members of Middle Eastern organizations, cultural centers, business, and media to develop and implement programs, services, and resources designed to advance understanding of regional issues.

Council on African Studies

The Council on African Studies at the Yale Center for International and Area Studies supports and coordinates the study of Africa within Yale University. PIER-African Studies offers teacher training workshops and resource services, enrichment programs in schools and civic groups, and a two-week intensive summer course in African studies aimed at college faculty, K-12 teachers, librarians, administrators, curriculum specialists, and members of the business and media communities. It also supports the Internet Living Swahili Dictionary is a collaborative work by people all over the world.

Council on Latin American and Iberian Studies

The Council continues a long tradition of Yale collaborations in Latin America, Spain and Portugal. It promotes linkages with other U.S., Latin American and Iberian organizations to bolster cooperation and understanding of these interconnected regions. Through a comprehensive outreach program, the Council works with local, regional and national K-16 educators and students as well as members of Latino community organizations, cultural centers, business and media to develop and implement programs, services, and resources designed to advance understanding of regional issues.

Crossing Borders

This Initiative, originally supported by the Ford Foundation, fosters innovative thinking and practices related to area studies through a variety of partnerships as well as disciplinary and other "border crossings." The Initiative has included innovative activities such as those generated by the Sangha River Network (SRN), established in 1997. The SRN is an international, interdisciplinary network of educators, researchers and professionals from academic, governmental and non-govenmental organizations who work on environmental issues involving the Sangha River region of equatorial Africa.

Program in Agrarian Studies

The Program in Agrarian Studies at Yale is an experimental, interdisciplinary effort to reshape how a new generation of scholars understands rural life and society. Our basic goal is to infuse categories of social science research in danger of becoming purely statistical and abstract with the fresh air of popular knowledge and reasoning about poverty, subsistence, cultivation, justice, art, law, property, ritual life, cooperation, resource use, and state action.

Yale Institute for Biospheric Studies

The Institute serves as a principal focus for Yale University's research and training efforts in the environmental sciences, and is committed to the teaching of environmental studies to future generations. It provides physical and intellectual centers for research and education that address fundamental questions that will inform the ability to generate solutions to the biosphere's most critical environmental solutions. Among its centers are: the Center for Earth Observation, ECOSAVE, and the Center for the Study of Global Change.
