Skidmore College: Anthropology Home. There are no events scheduled at the moment. Anthropology is the study of the human condition, both past and present. Our scholarship and courses concentrate on both the universal practices of humanity and the distinctiveness of particular societies and cultures around the globe. By exploring the complexities of culture and social action, bio-cultural processes, and the archaeological past, our students investigate and appreciate the diversity of the human condition from a critical and historical perspective. Our courses introduce students to fieldwork and provide them with various theoretical frameworks and scientific paradigms, while at the same time developing their skills in critical thinking and reading, data collection, argumentation, and writing.

Once our winner Jennifer found out she won she told me in an email it was the best day of her life because a day before she found out the adoption papers for their new child went through. Jennifer just sent me an email linked to a blog post to their trip they went on to Turks & Caicos in March. Looks like they made a few new memories and an unforgettable trip of a lifetime.

The Middleton Family at the New York World's Fair. Here's a family of folks you know - friends who live just around the corner from everyone. Doing the Fair - because that's what everyone is doing this year. Thrilled by its beauty . . . amazed at its wonders . . . the Middleton Family, from Everywhere, U.S.A.! There are Babs and Bud, overflowing with the exuberance of 18 and 14 . . . romping through Wonderland like two kittens across a rug. There are Father Tom and Mother Jane, trying unsuccessfully to be calm and judicious about it all. And there's Grandma, whose eyes, bright with the memories of other Fairs, grow brighter still with the vision of a new Tomorrow for her dear ones.
