Overview
About the program
The Anthropology program's major focus is social/cultural anthropology. Through ongoing departmental and interdepartmental seminars, the faculty at Rice University is dedicated to marrying the best in both the social science and humanities traditions.
In recent years, faculty members have been concerned with the development of ethnography as a method and with the analysis of social discourse toward a broadly conceived cultural criticism of institutions in many different societies that are experiencing historic and global conditions of modernity.
The archaeology faculty seeks students with research interests complementary to their own. Faculty research writing is ongoing in several fields: the emergence of complex societies and urbanism, settlement studies, origins of food production, the Late Stone Age and Iron Age in Africa, and historical archaeology.
