Evolutionary Anthropology Graduate Programs Evolutionary Anthropology Society Kathrine Starkweather February 28, 2017 The California Schools This is the 韝rst in a series of posts that highlight current evolutionary anthropology graduate programs—an update of a similar series written by Mary Shenk in 2005 and 2006. Each program was asked the same 6 questions and you can 韝nd their answers below. They all put a lot of time and e埞ort into answering these questions, but due to column length requirements we have to paraphrase. Full answers can be found here. UCLA 1. What are the areas of expertise in your department that are related to evolutionary anthropology? We are particularly strong in the area of evolutionary approaches to behavior and mind, examining a variety of questions using evolutionary psychological, primatological, and human behavioral ecological perspectives. Our program stands out both for its breadth in this regard, and for the extent to which it examines the intersection of biological and cultural evolution. 2. What sorts of funding opportunities are available for graduate students? In general, all of our graduate students are o埞ered a support package, typically for a 韝ve-year period, which covers all fees and tuition, and provides a stipend su韈cient for a reasonable standard of living. Additionally, the university o埞ers both summer and academic-year awards and the department provides small awards to support summer research, conference travel, and the like. 3. What about research opportunities for graduate students? And what kinds of research are current students involved with?
