Northwestern’s Anthropology PhD bridges sociocultural, archaeological, and biological subfields. Doctoral researchers excavate Andean trade networks, employ ancient-DNA sequencing to trace migration, and theorize digital labor on streaming platforms. A collaborative pedagogy institute hones inclusive teaching, while the Chicago Field Project funds long-term urban ethnography. Graduates secure tenure-track posts and leadership roles in museums, NGOs, and UX research labs.
