I would second all of the preceding suggestions (quoted below) and add
Cornell, Univ. of Texas @ Austin and the New School for Social research
(in NYC). If you are particularly interested in psychological approaches
UCSD is good. Of course the key thing to figure out is *who* you want to
work with. And the next thing to do is talk with your advisor (actually
this is something you should do before posting here). If anthro isn't
your major go find someone in the anthro dept where you are (someone
whose course you took, or wish you had taken).
