2008-2009 Brown Bag Lunch Series
The Anthropology Department started the Brown Bag Lunch Series in Fall 2008 in response to the rapidly growing number of undergraduate Anthropology majors and minors. Presentations and discussions are given by professors and graduate students on a range of topics, from fieldwork reflections and methods training to more theoretical topics. While the sessions are geared toward an undergraduate audience, faculty and graduate students are welcome to attend and contribute to discussions. Since Fall 2008, the department has hosted eight lunch sessions, and a graduate student panel event for undergraduates interested in Anthropology.
