critical human issues dealing with change and development, power and poverty,
gender and ethnicity, growth and learning, social justice and equity, and
environmental change and sustainability. As an academic unit, BARA is fully
committed to the training of professional anthropologists. In these unprecedented
times of increased globalization and ethnic diversity, anthropology assumes

mentoring in Applied Anthropology that will address this growing demand."
