The Experimental Anthropology Lab at the University of Connecticut, directed by Dr. Dimitris Xygalatas, is dedicated to studying human culture scientifically in real-life settings. Through a combination of qualitative field research and experimental methods, the lab focuses on understanding cultural expressions such as rituals, sports, music, and dancing that contribute to human connection and meaning. With a dynamic and interdisciplinary approach, the lab conducts research worldwide, integrating state-of-the-art technology for controlled experiments and developing tools and methods for fieldwork. By bringing the laboratory into context and continuously engaging with the field, the lab aims to answer big questions about culture and human experiences.Generated from the website
