 Applied
Anthropology
Faculty
and students at Minnesota State University, Mankato, conducted the applied anthropological projects
listed on the left.
 Applied anthropology aims to
identify and solve social problems by introducing culturally appropriate
changes. Various
agencies, including governmental and non-governmental organizations, ethnic
associations, and businesses, use research findings of applied anthropologists.
With anthropological perspectives, agencies can formulate more effective
programs which better fit the cultural contexts of their host communities. Source:
