She encourages all her students to think independently and critically about what they read in books, articles, or on social media. She hopes to provide her students with confidence in their ability to succeed in college, no matter what subject area they choose to pursue. Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences Anthropology Uncovering what makes humans human. Anthropology is the study of humans and nonhuman primates, both in biological and cultural contexts and studies. It delves deeply into the beginnings of humanity, and stretches to ideas about humanity's future. The goal is always to discover what separates humans from other species, and what makes different human populations unique in the ways they respond to the challenges that they face. We hope to discover what makes us all human, in spite of some of the superficial differences we observe.
