Anthropology and Archeology Teachers, Postsecondary

Anthropology and archeology teachers at colleges and universities spend their days in classrooms, research labs, and offices, guiding students through the study of human cultures, societies, and historical artifacts. They prepare and deliver lectures on topics ranging from cultural evolution to ancient civilizations, lead discussions about ethnographic research methods, and supervise students conducting fieldwork or analyzing archaeological finds. Beyond teaching, these professors design course curricula, grade papers and exams, and hold office hours to advise students on academic and career matters.
