Interdisciplinary Fields in Cultural Anthropology 

Wikipedia

A multidisciplinary field of research focuses on researching groups defined by geographic or cultural means. It considers the relationship between politics, history, culture, language, and literature to the people. It is distinguished from cultural studies due to its inclusion of emigration and diaspora in its research.

Area Studies

A collection of human behaviors and social norms that connect a group of people. These norms can include shared art, law, and beliefs, as well as other mutual commonalities.

Culture as a Sociological Issue

Cultural anthropologists can help people in a development organization understand the nature of cultural differences, which probably will not be intuitively obvious to them without some direct experience of the variations. There are also variations of culture within a single market, as different groups of people have unique anthropological characteristics, based on their occupation, background, or
interests.
