| Description |
The Anthropology Club is aimed at giving students who are interested in the field of anthropology (the study of people and cultures) a chance to meet and interact with other students who share similar interest. Subfields of Anthropology include: Archaeology, Sociocultural Anthropology, Linguistic, and Biological/Physical Anthropology. They will be used to supplement their academic education in all of these sub-fields and build friendships. It will give students firsthand experience in the sociocultural and archaeological subfields of anthropology by exposing them to field trips, movies, and current anthropological projects. Upcoming events include visits, and or camping trips to areas of anthropological significance in and around the Upper Peninsula, experimentation with traditional living skills such as atlatl dart throwing, flint knapping (stone tool making), and other traditional techniques, as well as travel to museums around the area and professional conferences. For the Fall Semester 2009, we will meet at 6:30 p.m. on Thursdays with the Winter Semester 2010 to be decided at a later date. Most activities will occur during the weekend. Everyone is welcome to join regardless of academic major. Anthropology was once described as the "art of hanging out" so if you want to hang out and be part of a new and exciting student organization, please come check us out. |
