Department of Anthropology

The Department of Anthropology at Georgetown University includes a diverse group of scholars in cultural anthropology. Our research across the globe in Africa, the Caribbean, Europe, Eurasia, Latin America, the Middle East, and North America addresses pressing global issues surrounding the new economy, gender, human rights, transnational migration, race, religion, social justice, and the law. Through our research we seek to attract students who are committed to understanding and communicating the complex linkages between culture and power in changing local, national and global circumstances.

The Inauguration of the Department of Anthropology was celebrated on September 22, 2011. Professor Denise Brennan, Chair of the Department, opened the Inaugural Lecture with the following remarks.
