Advance knowledge and understanding of human diversity and adaptation—past, present, and future—while seeking answers to the most vexing issues and problems affecting our species and our planet. Anthropology is the comprehensive study of human beings, past and present, in comparative, cross-cultural, and holistic light. The anthropology program at the University of Saskatchewan offers training that emphasizes the role of culture in past and present human behaviour and diversity, and that exposes students to human evolutionary, environmental, and social development and adaptation. The program demonstrates particular expertise in medical anthropology, environmental anthropology, applied (practicing) anthropology, anthropological archaeology, environmental archaeology, and bioarchaeology. We emphasize community-based and engaged learning, a commitment to reconciliation, and a broad disciplinary foundation in both anthropology and archaeology.
