The Anthropology Department at TCU studies the four branches of anthropology:
1. Social anthropology may be of interest to those studying administration, human resources, and public health as well as other related fields.
2. Linguistic is of interest if you wish to learn more about culture, language, and creative writing among other things.
3. Biological anthropology encompasses medical, forensics, osteology, and anatomy.
4. Archaeology is the study of humans of the past, history, and the changes of human behavior over time among other things.
If you wish to bring the human aspects of your field into your career, then the Anthropological Society invites you to join us as we strive to take what we learn from Anthropology courses and put the into practice. For example, biology can study how cancer behaves and how to treat it. Anthropology in medicine is concerned with that as well as the human aspects of illness. Questions in this case would include:
Can the person seeking treatment afford medical care?
Does this person live in a location where medical care is accessible?
How does someone's culture play in role in their seeking medical attention, and what restrictions might they have compared to others?
Does this person work long hours which would prevent them from taking medication on time and with a meal?
If you find yourself asking questions about human circumstances then the Anthropological Society then please consider comparing to our biweekly meetings.
