The Environmental Anthropology Lab

The Environmental Anthropology Lab studies how human cultures interact with their environments, focusing on sustainable practices, resource management, and cultural beliefs related to nature. It combines anthropology—which explores human societies—with environmental science to understand how people's behaviors and traditions influence ecological health. The lab often conducts research, engages communities, and develops solutions that promote environmental sustainability while respecting cultural diversity. Its goal is to foster a deeper understanding of the human-environment relationship and support efforts to address ecological challenges through culturally informed approaches.
