This seminar is for all senior anthropology majors who intend to write honors theses or senior essays. It is designed to enable students to pursue individual research projects in a group context, with attention to debates on the nature of anthropological interpretation. The seminar is structured as a workshop: each student gives a series of presentations on their own research project to the group; equally important is engaging with and offering constructive criticism of the projects presented by others. |
