The discipline emphasizes interpretive methods as well as participatory fieldwork ( ethnography ) brought to bear on the comparative study of societies past and present ( ethnology ) . Our Department encompasses a wide range of theoretical orientations and has developed three topical specializations ( Ecological Anthropology , Medical Anthropology , and Discursive Practices ) as well as geocultural expertise in the cultures of Asia , Oceania ( especially Hawai ‘ i ) and the United States .
