Hi Erica,

A helpful guide is the American Anthropological Association's annual guide
to anthropology programs. It covers undergraduate and graduate programs.
Next to each professor's name is a listing of his/her areas of research.
You may not be able to check it out but your school or a nearby school
will probably have it for reference use only in their library.

Also, talking to the professors in your department may help; they can
usually steer you towards people to talk to.

Best of luck,
Natalie
