Anthropology
The LdM Anthropology Department is committed to the exploration of what it means to be human and how individuals understand and operate successfully in distinct cultural settings. The Department with its multidisciplinary curriculum strikes a balance by integrating the four fields of Anthropology (cultural, biological, archaeological and linguistics) through fieldwork and case studies that challenge and prepare students for their future professional endeavors. Trained experts and scholars in their respective fields guide students through the various disciplines.
The Department offers courses that are exciting and engaging, drawing from the deep well of human diversity. Courses range from familial structures, to values and beliefs, languages, and patterns in historical fashion trends. By studying people and their material and spiritual values from a historical and comparative perspective, the Department seeks to advance the understanding of multiculturalism and the knowledge of ourselves. LdM achieves this by exposing students through research and educational instruction to cross-cultural experiences by using the backdrop of Italian society.
The courses challenge students of LdM to develop effective skills in research, proposing empirical evidence and through verbal and written communication. In introducing cross-cultural psychology and how to conduct ethnographic interviews in an academic and ethically sound way, students learn how to analyze interpersonal and intercultural communication in today’s globalized environment.
Because of its comprehensive approach, with an emphasis on applied anthropology, students complete their studies prepared to pursue careers in museum studies, marketing and communications, and social sciences. Others pursue graduate degrees in cultural anthropology, archaeology, biology, and even law school, while many more go to work in non-profit organizations.
