Cultural and biological expertise is useful in the areas of law and medico-legal casework. Health care delivery systems have been analyzed and improved through the bio-cultural viewpoint of medical anthropologists. Cultural anthropologists have a great deal to offer in confronting problems of poverty, ethnic discrimination, and social marginalization. Archaeologists and cultural and biological anthropologists are involved in the systematic discovery, preservation, and management of cultural resources. They contribute to understanding and respecting cultural heritages.
Anthropologists often work as advocates of cultural and ethnic rights both at home and abroad.
Within academia, opportunities for anthropologists extend well beyond anthropology departments. They include appointments in schools of dentistry, medicine, law, public health, public policy, and social work, as well as in departments of humanities, social science, sociology, psychology, and American, ethnic, urban, and women's studies departments.
