Anthropology is the comparative study of human cultures, how customary ideas, actions, and institutions shape and give meaning to individual and collective experience.

MIT Anthropology faculty conduct research all over the world, live and work among the people we study, analyze how social identities and hierarchies are established or contested, cultural values are transmitted and transformed, and community and state organizations operate.

The MIT Anthropology program introduces students to the field of cultural anthropology and to the diversity of global cultures, providing training in field methods and social theory, critical thinking skills, and cross-cultural understanding.
