Cultural Anthropology:
Cultural Anthropology involves numerous sub disciplines in the enterprise of understanding culture and cultural processes. Dr. William Jankowiak has worked in the field of Urban Anthropology and has done work in China, Inner Mongolia and with Mormons. Dr. Jiemen Bao studies transnational migration, identity formation and the practices and politics of class, gender, sexuality and race. Dr. Pierre Liénard studies Cognition and culture, evolutionary perspective on culture, biological anthropology, behavioral ecology, evolutionary psychology and related fields.

While the field of Ethnoarchaeology is often subsumed under archaeology, it is a prime example of how Cultural Anthropology interfaces with other disciplines. Dr. Lisa Frink applies ethnographic data derived from field work among Alaskan Native Americans to understand archaeological data.
