Asking questions…
Why did some societies shift to a grain based diet? What happens when a government prevents an endangered language from being spoken in public? How do long-term disasters affect human health?
An anthropology degree from Beloit trains students to think critically and embrace the connections between human history, culture, and biology.
And finding solutions.
