March 25, 2003 UNM ANTHROPOLOGY GRADUATE STUDENT SYMPOSIUM SET FOR MARCH 28-29 The University of New Mexico’s annual Anthropology Graduate Student Symposium is scheduled for Friday, March 28 from noon to 5 p.m. in Dane Smith Hall, rm. 125, and Saturday, March 29 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Hibben Center rm. 105. The event is sponsored by the Anthropology Graduate Student Union, and participants include both graduate students and faculty. The symposium offers an opportunity for students and community members to increase their awareness of relevant issues heard or offered from a variety of viewpoints. Presentations include graduate student research on health, American Indians in the Southwest and California, innovative methodologies and theories in anthropology, women’s roles in a variety of contexts, archaeological landscapes and material culture, and applied anthropology, among other topics. The symposium includes two additional events this year: a faculty presentation on collaboration in the field and a roundtable on diversity issues presented by graduate students. Participation shows the breadth of issues addressed by anthropology and the ways different approaches can confront them. The symposium is free and open to the public.
