From humanistic studies of ancient cultures to population studies of timely policy issues, the research and scholarship of our faculty, graduate students, and undergraduates garners major awards, attracts millions of dollars in external funding, influences court cases and social policies, and changes how people think about themselves and the world around them, past, present, and future.
