Anthropology is the study of people, in all times and in all places. Anthropology consists of 4 fields: Cultural Anthropology (the study of human culture), Biological / Physical Anthropology (the study of the human body), Archaeology (the study of what humans left behind), and Linguistic Anthropology (the study of human language). For more information on each of the 4 fields of Anthropology, please see the appropriate question on this page.

It brings Anthropology to the general public, and makes the discipline accessible for all.

Cultural Anthropology is the study of human cultures around the world, and how different aspects of life are similar or different in other cultures. Cultural Anthropology looks at family life, religion, art, economics, politics, and many more topics. Subfields of Cultural Anthropology include Business Anthropology, Medical Anthropology, Legal Anthropology, Environmental Anthropology, and lots more. For almost any topic you can think of, there are Anthropologists studying it!

It includes primatology (the study of primates, such as chimpanzees), the study of human variation (such as genetics and adaptation), osteology (the study of human bones), paleoanthropology (the study of human evolution), and more. Physical Anthropology also includes Forensic Anthropology, which involves studying human remains.
As of the beginning of 2023, Keirsten is creating new interactive courses, which will be offered through the Moodle platform in summer 2023. When the new courses are ready, you can access them through the Academy section of this website. More new interactive courses will be added over time.

Linguistic Anthropology is the study of human language, and the relationships between language and other aspects of human behavior. It includes things like the study of the origin and evolution of human languages and the study of language distribution and variation. Linguistic Anthropology also includes topics such as language and gender, language and power, language revitalization, language in medical settings, and more.
