UCSC Department of Anthropology

Undergrads and grads should check out this announcement from the department! Direct questions to Professor Lissa Caldwell ([email protected]) or Professor Megan Moodie ([email protected]).

Hot off the presses -- this article by Professor Tsim Schneider in American Anthropologist!

On December 10, join the AAA event "Collaborative Scripts: Disability & Chronic Illness Through Ethnographic Theatre & Film" as Professor Megan Moodie presents her screenplay-in-progress. https://www.americananthro.org/AttendEvents/Content.aspx

In an era when people feel disconnected from reality and Zoom-fatigued, Professor Moodie's senior seminar "Radical Craft" is doing something radical: lovingly working with the course syllabus to create a work of art by hand. In this way, students engage with and think about the document and the material it contains a bit differently, just like many of the extraordinary "craftivists" -- from Cecilia Vicuna to The Aids Memorial Quilt -- they are learning about this quarter. Stay tuned for updates about student projects throughout the quarter!

Where in the world is UCSC Anthropology? The department may be dark and quiet, but that doesn't mean that exciting things aren't going on or that our absences means that we're completely invisible. As good anthropologists, we always know how to read the silences and absences to see and hear what's there. We'd love to see where you are doing UCSC Anthropology right now. What does UCSC Anthropology mean to you? And where would you like UCSC Anthropology to take you? ... #UCSCAnthropology #SlugAnthro
