Our faculty have extensive research, teaching, and service experience, representing the fields of archeology, sociocultural anthropology, and biological anthropology, in diverse cultural settings that include the Czech Republic, Ecuador, France, Guatemala, Honduras, Indonesia, Malaysia, Oman, the Philippines, Senegal, Turkey, the United States, and Yemen.
Each faculty member welcomes the opportunity to provide individual career advising and instruction to the student. In addition, faculty engage in interdepartmental cooperation through partnerships with Appalachian Studies, Interdisciplinary Studies, Biology, Geology, and Sustainable Development (which was started in our department).
In addition to excellence in teaching, we maintain one of the highest standards of research and teaching in the College. Over the past 29 years, two of our faculty members have been selected for a UNC Board of Governors Campus Excellence in Teaching Award, three of our faculty members have been inducted into the College of Arts & Sciences Academy of Outstanding Teachers, and five of our professors have been awarded the scholar of the year awards (junior and senior levels) given by the College of Arts & Sciences.
