Dr. Wiley has returned from her sabbatical at the School of Oriental and African Studies at University of London in the UK. She was working on a new book tentatively entitled, "Cultures of Milk: Dairy Products in India and the United States"   (Harvard University Press).  In the book she considers how people in the two largest milk-producing countries view milk, especially in relation to health and child growth, and discusses her current research on the relationship between milk consumption and chid growth in India.  She will be back in the spring to teach HUBI B400.  Stop by to welcome her home!

What are we?

Human Biology is an intellectually-vibrant interdisciplinary major that challenges students to gain a holistic view of humanity. It provides students with a solid grounding in the scientific understanding of human biology, and emphasizes the ways that human biology is shaped by, understood, and interpreted within a social and cultural context. Students take innovative core courses in Human Biology that are co-taught by faculty in the life science and the social sciences or humanities. They also pursue coursework at the lower and upper levels in the sciences and choose an area of concentration that best suits their interests and that includes classes in the natural and social sciences and the humanities.
