Anthropology is a contemporary social science that bridges both the natural sciences and humanities to examine human diversity in the past and present and the profoundly different ways in which social groups interpret and inhabit an increasingly complex world. Our program is characterized by an emphasis on fieldwork and is encouraged in student work abroad. We cover anthropology's subfields of cultural anthropology, biological anthropology and archaeology, each characterized by unique approaches, yet all oriented toward understanding and informing contemporary debates about the diversity of human experience in a wide range of societies.

Sociology and anthropology are distinct from other social sciences in their holistic approach to the study of human life, encompassing social, cultural, economic, political and psychological aspects. Students in DePauw’s sociology and anthropology programs learn to think creatively and to meaningfully link individual biographical events to larger social patterns in society. They acquire sophisticated data collection and analysis skills, using qualitative and quantitative methods; cultivate a sensitivity to issues of social stratification and social justice; and consider the ethical implications of their knowledge.

Straddling the humanities and social sciences, anthropology critically examines the complexity of human and nonhuman life across a range of field sites.

Anthropology is a social science that seeks to understand and explain human cultural, behavioral, and biological variation through time and space. This gives anthropology a wide reach and has resulted in the formation of three subdisciplines: cultural anthropology, archaeology, and biological anthropology. Cultural anthropology concentrates on modern human culture and behavior. Archaeology examines cultural and behavioral variation over time through the material culture of past people. Biological anthropology studies the biological evidence for human evolution, encompassing everything from the study of modern non-human primates to the earliest stages of mammalian fossil evolution. The objective of the Anthropology major is to train the student in all three subdisciplines while allowing the student to concentrate in a specific subdiscipline.

At Scripps, we focus on sociocultural anthropology, which explores the social orders and meanings that people create. We actively incorporate deliberate anticolonial and anti-racist approaches of contemporary anthropology into our teaching. This means that we pay critical attention to the discipline’s histories of imperial knowledge production while also using anthropology’s tools to challenge power in its many forms, including structural racism and sexism, class divisions, U.S. imperialism, and ongoing settler-colonialisms. The anthropology curriculum examines a broad range of topics including artistic, religious, linguistic, political, and economic values and practices; health, medicine, and science; family and relationality; gender and sexuality; race and ethnicity; and identity and belonging. Anthropology also emphasizes the grounding of theoretical interpretations in ethnographic fieldwork and many students conduct independent, original research for their senior theses. The study of anthropology prepares students for any career in which an understanding and appreciation of diversity, critical thinking skills, and the ability to think outside the box are important. Anthropology at Scripps is an independent department that cooperates with Pitzer, Pomona, and HMC to provide a broader curriculum.
