ANT 480 - Senior Seminar/Capstone in Anthropology

This course is designed to be a culminating experience for students within the Anthropology program. Students are asked to build upon their educational and/or professional goals by developing and carrying out a project of their choosing, with options ranging from a substantive research paper within a particular subfield of Anthropology to a significant public project such as an awareness campaign or a curated exhibition. Students work independently, in close consultation with faculty members, to define, develop, and present their work, but also receive significant feedback and support from their peers. This course also provides the opportunity for students to carry out an oral/visual presentation at the Michael D. Wilson Symposium Day. Course Typically Offered: Every year.

Prerequisite(s): ANT 340, and ANT 250 or ANT 360, or permission of the instructor.
