Anthropology Club

The goal of the Anthropology Club is to help cultivate anthropocentric discussion and learning on the SUNY New Paltz campus. We hope to be recognized by the New Paltz Student Association and work very closely with the Anthropology Department in order to form a strong community that supports learning about other cultures, human history and heritage, and human interaction as well as the four major sub-fields of anthropology (linguistics, archaeology, cultural anthropology, and biological anthropology). The club has hosted for movie nights, guest speakers, field-trips, and has even sent members to anthropology related conferences. This is a casual group for anthropology majors and non-majors that can provide people with opportunities to discuss and explore a variety of topics that range from famous anthropologists, globalization, and to the question, “What is culture?”. In conclusion, we have been described as “The club for humans who enjoy other humans,” because we explore the world history that units all of humanity.
