Faculty

Department faculty specializations include medical anthropology, human biology, urban policy and community development, educational anthropology, media studies, ethnic policies and heritage, economic development, immigration, archaeology, cultural resource management, gender, environment, applied linguistics, and archaeological science. Geographic specializations emphasize the Caribbean, Latin America, United States, and Sub-Saharan Africa.

Anthropology faculty members are committed to excellence in research and teaching, with impressive records of publication and funded research. We are proud of the fact that almost all our classes are taught by full-time faculty or trained, advanced doctoral students; adjunct faculty are rarely employed. In the past 10 years, faculty have won multiple USF teaching and research awards.
