BA in Anthropology - Sociocultural Concentration in La Jolla United States | University of California, San Diego

The UC San Diego sociocultural anthropology department's faculty and students collectively explore how human existence is formed and transformed. Our research focuses on both the systems governing life and how communities uphold, adapt, or sometimes challenge these dominant geographical and historical patterns. Key areas in our academic work include: colonial and imperial dynamics, economic changes and government evolution, conflicts over progress and development concepts, transformations in knowledge frameworks and value standards, disputes about documenting contrasting narratives and aspirations, and the unequal distribution of life experiences based on factors like age, ethnicity, nationality, gender, race, faith, and sexual identity.
