Anthropology meet-and-greet (breakfast edition) preceded this at 9 am. Thanks to all who came for another SRO event!
Anthropology students have been presenting their work at the Petersheim Academic Exposition since 2004. This multi-year project showcases original student research relating to various modes of anthropological research, presented to an audience of peers, but is unique in that our panels have the formal participation of a faculty member or graduate student as discussant.
Students need not be Anthropology majors or minors but the papers themselves must actively incorporate anthropological research methods such as ethnography, or engage in related research issues of anthropological import. If you have a paper that you wish to be considered for the series, or have questions about how to present your research in similar venues, please contact any member of faculty in the Anthropology program.
