A new forum for undergraduate students of anthropology will be inaugurated this month.
The Yale Student Anthropology Society will hold its first annual Anthropology Undergraduate Colloquium on Tuesday, April 8, and Tuesday, April 15, 4:30-6:30 p.m. in Rm. 1, 158 Whitney Ave. The event, which is free and open to the public, offers an opportunity for the students to present their independent research.
The colloquium will feature eight presentations in the areas of cultural and physical anthropology, and archaeology. Each undergraduate talk will be followed by commentary by a graduate student and a question-and-answer session with the audience.
"The First Annual Anthropology Undergraduate Colloquium has been created to provide an exciting new forum for discussion and the exchange of ideas," says Jennifer Staple, the founding president of the Yale Student Anthropology Society. "The presentations will provide unique anthropological perspectives on a wide range of topics -- from the boundaries of citizenship since Sept. 11 and the political aspects of popular culture to an anthropological analysis of science and art. Student presenters and the public will have the opportunity to engage in dynamic dialogue."
The lecture topics and speakers on April 8 are: "Exclusive Citizenship: Middle Eastern, Arab and South Asian Americans Post-9/11" by Neheet Trivedi '03; "England's Missing Children: The Search for Anglo-Saxon Conceptions of Childhood at an 8th-9th Century Christian Chemistry Site" by Allysha Powanda '03; "The Nigerian Student Movement and the Culture of Political Transition" by Kristina Weaver '03; and "The New African-Americans: A Critical Look at Identity Formation Among Second Generation Africans" by Temitayo Ifafore '03.
The topics and speakers on April 15 are: "William Hogarth and the Lens: An Anthropological Analysis of the Eyeglass Dichotomy in Early Modern England" by Jennifer Staple '03; "Slingstones at Chankillo, Peru" by Adam Stack '04; "Senegalese Migrant Community in Rome" by Lili Beit '03; and "Carnaval do Oprimido (Carnival of the Oppressed)" by Raphael Soifer '04.
