Individual research in all divisions of anthropology and in allied fields for advanced graduate students
An internship arranged through the Museum Anthropology program of 10 hrs/week (for 3 credits) or 20 hrs/week (for 6).

Not to be taken without permission of the program directors, usually after completing the Museum Anthropology core courses.
What is realism and how does it relate to objectivity? In this course, we will consider a range of answers, with special attention to problems of value. We will begin by clarifying the nature of realism about a subject matter and arguments that might support it. We will then look at limitations of realism
per se
, and the need to supplement it with a distinct notion of objectivity. Next, we will consider arguments that “realist objectivism”, while attractive, is an untenable package. This will lead us to discuss anti-objectivist forms of realism and their deflationary methodological ramifications. Finally, we will look at the prospects for objectivity
without
realism, particularly in the evaluative case. We will conclude by sketching a neo-pragmatist metaphilosophical outlook.

In the spring semester, new groups are formed to undertake analytic projects for real-world clients in government and nonprofit agencies. These teams, working under the supervision of faculty members, write a report analyzing an actual environmental policy or management problem faced by their clients. Again, projects selected will be relevant to the cohort's two earth systems problem themes.
