The anthropology department will be hosting an ethnographic film presentation early this February. Miguel Leatham, director of anthropology, said this will be the first of hopefully many films to follow, as the department’s goal by fall is to have a film cycle of anthropology related films showing every semester.
Leatham said the department also added three new courses to its program this spring, all revolving around the theme of globalization. They are planning on submitting four more courses for next semester.
These additions are just the beginning for the anthropology department, Leatham said.
The department is making a move to Scharbauer Hall in 2010 after more than 20 years in their beloved trailer. Leatham said their new location will be much more accomodating to the 38 professors, and will even include a lab of their own.
“We have a possibility of developing the program even more once we are not so crowded and have more room,” Leatham said. “We will feel like we finally have a place on the map.”
