Anthropology About

Anthropologists take a broad approach to studying human beings and many different aspects of human experience by considering the past and the present. Anthropology is a science that deals with the study of the origins, physical and cultural development, biological characteristics and social customs as well as beliefs of human beings. There are many subfields of anthropology, some of them being archaeology, biological anthropology, cultural anthropology, and linguistic anthropology.

Career Roles & Responsibilities

Depending on the school's structure and needs, faculty may teach a combination of undergraduate and graduate courses. Some introductory courses may have dozens or even hundreds of undergraduate students enrolled, while upper-division classes and graduate courses may only have ten or fewer students. Faculty may have teaching assistants who assist the professor in grading course assignments. Some schools require 4-course teaching loads per semester, which might limit the scholar's time for research.

It's helpful for professors to be organized, self-motivated multitaskers in order to successfully manage the teaching and research requirements of their appointments. Those with a passion for one of the four fields of anthropology and an interest in sharing it with others fare best in an academic setting.
