Greeting Anthro Nerds!
You will soon be reading posts here that detail the amazing adventures the Nerds had in 2013-2014 (already Justine has posted a great piece on her adventures in Hungary); I wanted to provide you with some (contemporary) food for thought about the on-goings in Nerdland for the upcoming school year. We have a lot planned. The most exciting news is the Department of Sociology is considering a way to formalize the anthropology curriculum so this option of study will be made available to students. There are wonderful synergies in our department, and great collaborations can be made between anthropology, criminal justice, sociology, gerontology, and social services. Additionally, the AN program is always looking for ways to connect with majors and programs across the university. We hope to have news soon about the ways students can pursue anthropology as part of their studies at Quinnipiac.
As far as classes for Fall, we still have room in AN 300 Forensic Anthropology, taught by Jaime Ullinger, AN 101 Local Cultures, Global Issues, taught by Hillary Haldane (me!), and AN 300 Human Survival and the Environment, taught by Frank Crohn. In Spring we have a bunch of new classes. AN 300 Human Origins will be taught by Diane Stock, a dean in the College of Arts and Sciences and our resident paleoanthropologist, AN 300 Human Variation, taught by Jaime Ullinger, and AN 300 Practicing Archaeology, taught by Julia Giblin.
Let us know what you are up to this summer, and share your Nerd Adventures with us. We look forward to seeing you again in the Fall.
Lastly, I want to send our warmest congratulations to all our graduating Nerds. We have 13 AN minors graduating this year, and we wish them all the best in their future endeavors. Keep us informed about your whereabouts as you go out in the world.
