Culture, Resources, and
Power (CRP) involves faculty and graduate students in socio-cultural
and linguistic anthropology. CRP faculty situate their research within contemporary
processes of globalization, examining the intersections of global and local
forces and the new practices and politics that emerge at those intersections.
CRP members pursue problem focused, policy-relevant research, driven by real-world
problems as well as emerging trends in social theory. Their research and teaching
integrate several interrelated thematic areas: local, national, and transnational
identities; political ecology and sustainability; economic development and social
policy; social justice and human rights; language, discourse, and power; and
the production of knowledge.

Social Theory and Cultural Inquiry seeks to ground ethnographic investigation in anthropological theory. Faculty and students pursue research that contributes to understanding specific cultures, to analyzing human behaviors across cultures, and to theory building. The program encourages its graduate students to acquire a strong background in methodology, ethnography, and theory.
