Brown has offered graduate degrees in Anthropology since the 1960s. Today, graduates are trained for professional careers in sociocultural anthropology, archaeology and linguistic anthropology, and employed in a range of teaching, research and museum positions — as well as in nonacademic fields where anthropological expertise is required. Faculty have wide-ranging theoretical and methodological research interests, among them anthropological demography, globalization, medical anthropology, development studies, militarization, urban civilization, ethnicity, gender, religion, politics, language and culture, ancient writing, historical anthropology, historical and maritime archaeology, and museum studies. They have conducted research throughout the world — in North, Central, and South America, the Arctic, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa and Australia.
