Department Of Anthropology, Archaeology And Sociology

Sydney Private Schools introduces Department Of Anthropology, Archaeology And Sociology in Townsville, for all your education and learning needs.

The disciplines of Anthropology, Archaeology and Sociology have been taught at JCU since 1975 and Criminology was introduced in 2005. Our department’s mission is to explore the dynamics of social and cultural life, particularly in northern Australia, the Asia Pacific region and in other parts of the tropics. Our approach to social research is comparative and international. While we are strongly rooted in our individual disciplines, our strength lies in our ability to harness the intellectual power of an interdisciplinary approach. This evident in our research and teaching, for example, the interdisciplinary major in Asia-Pacific Community Development.

The Department boasts a strong record of producing excellent graduate and postgraduate students, and takes pride in maintaining a friendly atmosphere.
