Evaluate the methods and ethics of fieldwork and research.

Webster students study past cultures to learn what methods human societies developed to deal with the complexities of social life, social order and social change throughout history and pre-history. Through our program, develop a critical appreciation of the social-structural and social-cultural dimensions of human behavior and beliefs.
