Historical NoteReturn to Top
The Department of Anthropology at the University of Washington was launched in the 1920s by Leslie Spier and Melville Jacobs. Both were students of Franz Boas, as was Erna Gunther (famed ethnobotanist) who took the reins in 1929 and under whose lively leadership the department grew for a quarter of a century.
As of 2023, the department includes 35 faculty members and houses three academic sub-disciplines into which the undergraduate and graduate programs are apportioned: archaeology, biological anthropology, and sociocultural anthropology.
