教师的研究

学生研究机会

All of the tenure-track faculty in the anthropology department are actively engaged in research, 虽然不是每个人都有研究实验室. You can find out more about faculty research by looking at faculty webpages or by talking with professors. Many professors are able to incorporate undergraduate 和 graduate students into their research – just ask. Taking a research methods class is a great way to get experience doing research 和 working with professors in their areas of expertise. 许多班都使用系里的研究实验室, 但你也可以要求在那里做志愿者. 这里是该部门研究实验室的简要介绍.

研究实验室

Dr. Kate Sullivan创建并运营人类学媒体实验室. 民族志电影课程(ANTH 4460), offered annually during Fall semester) is a rigorous upper division undergraduate methods class, 学生参与自己的民族志研究项目, 在实验室里学习拍摄和编辑. 在媒体实验室增加了地理空间项目和软件, 学生可以从事一系列的定性, 地理空间, 以及实验室里的人种学研究和文献. ANTH 4460 ethnographic film students have produced 和 submitted ethnographic films to the annual CSU Los Angeles Golden Eagle Student Film Festival 和 the 人类学媒体实验室 has instituted its own small but growing film festival to screen our films for the people in our films, 家庭, 朋友, 我们的大学社区. 该实验室配备了计算机,并使用基于pc的当前Premier数字视频系统. 这允许扩展学生在线访问ArcGIS, Adobe软件, 以及其他一些基于个人电脑的大学订阅服务.

海岸考古实验室 (CAL) is a hub of academic activity for anthropology students working on undergraduate 和 graduate degrees at CSULA. Types of research conducted in the CAL include analyses of archaeological collections from the Pacific coast of North America spanning the past roughly 12,000年, 包括壳壳分析, 石器和其他人工制品分析, 利用GIS进行空间和景观分析, 复制研究:对考古文物进行实验性复制的复制研究, 考古和材料来源研究, 利用稳定同位素和各种考古资料进行古环境重建, 和 zooarchaeological analysis 和 subsistence studies including the analysis of isotopic signatures to detect dietary patterns in humans 和 other animals. 这个实验室也提供了一个积累的空间, 处理, 和 housing of an extensive zoological 和 malacological comparative collection including terrestrial 和 marine mammals, 鸟类物种, 爬行动物和两栖动物, 鱼, 和软体动物. Many of these research projects are performed in collaboration with professionals 和 students at other academic 和 professional institutions, providing 加州大学洛杉矶分校 students with contacts 和 experience participating in interdisciplinary collaborations that reach far outside this campus 和 prepare them for the next chapter of their academic 和/or professional journey. 除了, students from CAL participate in 和 lead community outreach programs at local schools 和 community events in the Los Angeles area 和 many students work part-time for local Cultural Resource Management (CRM) companies gaining valuable professional experience as they simultaneously pursue their degrees.
