Welcome to the University of Colorado at Boulder Anthropology Department
The Department of Anthropology at CU Boulder is an active, collaborative community of faculty and students within the subdisciplines of archaeology, biological anthropology, and cultural anthropology.
We focus on a theme of local/global dynamics, or, the relationship between the lives of the people and non-human primates we study and the large-scale patterns of society and history. We have identified four broad themes that address local/global dynamics in ways that cut across the subdisciplines: ecology and evolution, power and practice, landscape and space, and globalization. These themes serve as intellectual bridges, creating new collaborations within the department and with other programs and institutions that will advance our research and teaching missions as well as create a more integrated departmental vision. Our vision for the Department is to further develop links among the subdisciplines, as well as with other fields, which focus on problems of local/global dynamics. These intellectual bridges will create powerful new collaborations or strengthen ongoing relationships within the department and with other programs that will advance our research and teaching missions as well as create a more integrated departmental vision. The Anthropology Department is located in the historic Hale Science Building on the northwest side of campus (see http://www.colorado.edu/campusmap/map.html?bldg=HALE for map).
