Human Ecology is a multidisciplinary field that closely explores the relationships between people and the environments they interact with. Human Ecology is about changing lives. The Human Ecology department supports rigorous multidisciplinary research programs with a particular focus on four main areas: aging; children, youth and families, material culture studies, and textile and apparel science.
