Skidmore College Anthropology Department

Skidmore College Anthropology Department The official page of the Skidmore College Anthropology Department. Anthropology is the study of the human condition, both past and present.

Our scholarship and courses concentrate on both the universal practices of humanity and the distinctiveness of particular societies and cultures around the globe. By exploring the complexities of culture and social action, bio-cultural processes, and the archaeological past, our students investigate and appreciate the diversity of the human condition from a critical and historical perspective. Our

courses introduce students to fieldwork and provide them with various theoretical frameworks and scientific paradigms, while at the same time developing their skills in critical thinking and reading, data collection, argumentation, and writing. In the support of a liberal arts approach, we encourage our students to develop interdisciplinary interests and to bridge anthropology with fine arts, humanities, and the natural and social sciences, and to explore those interests through coursework, individual research projects, internships, and study abroad. Through the study of the breadth and scope of the human experience, we strive to help our students become responsible, informed global citizens.

Recent Anthro Grads: AmeriCorps has two (maybe more?) anthro-relevant positions in Arizona right now. The Cultural Resources and Historic Preservation positions would be great experience for someone ready to take an adventure to the American Southwest for a year!
