Department of Anthropology Solidarity Statement with the Black Lives Matter Movement

The Department of Anthropology stands in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement in their protests against injustice and systemic structural racism. Anthropologists have a long-standing commitment to shed light on distorted myths and ideologies of human difference employed as strategies for division and control. We call on our community to take this time to listen, reflect, and promote positive and serious dialogue about the experiences of Black lives.

Our department hosts a vibrant community of faculty, graduate students, undergraduates and scholars. We offer B.A., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees, as well as certificates in Forensic Science and Museum Studies. Many of our programs reach beyond campus – from The Milwaukee Public Museum, to the Medical Examiner’s Office, the Wisconsin State Crime Lab, and the Medical College of Wisconsin.

As a field science, we offer field schools that enable students to experience anthropological research.

In addition, our department houses a successful Cultural Resource Management (CRM) program and curates one of the largest archaeologically recovered skeletal collections in the U.S.

Graduates from our programs have found employment in the nonprofit and government sectors as well as in business and academia.
