Monmouth's anthropologists are actively conducting research throughout the Americas. Projects include: the study of race and racism; poverty and patronage in Brazil; the archaeology of the Middle Atlantic; cross-cultural studies of children's play and behavior; tourism; and mapping practices. Students benefit from participating in this research while amassing critical thinking skills they can apply in the practical world.
