"There has never been a better time to study anthropology -- nor a better place to study it than UCL

The UCLA Department of Anthropology has always taken a broad view of anthropology, maintaining both balance and integration among the four fields (archaeology, biological, sociocultural, and linguistic), which have traditionally characterized the discipline. Established in 1941, the department grew to prominence immediately after World War II and has consistently ranked among the top ten departmen

ts in the country, both for the distinction of its faculty and the quality of its teaching. Many faculty members actively engage in research and teaching in two or more fields, and many hold joint appointments in other departments and schools at UCLA. Indeed, Anthropology has ties with many other major departments in the university, offering a rich fare to graduate students. The great variety and richness of the departmental curriculum may best be appreciated by looking first at the four traditional fields of Anthropology and then at the diverse formal programs and major concentrations of strength. Still today, the Department of Anthropology continues to grow and cater to our large number of undergraduates and graduate students here at the University of California, Los Angeles.

"Opening minds and hearts — whether you live in an affluent L.A. neighborhood or a poor place across the world with no drinkable household water — allows us to see that, without a doubt, all of our stories here on Earth are ultimately intertwined."

Beautiful article on our very own Professor Aomar Boum!
