Current Topics in Anthropogeny Fall 2024

Students participate in the CARTA symposium, How Humans Came to Construct Their Worlds. Students are paired with a featured speaker to "shadow" throughout the duration of the symposium schedule, attend "preview" and "digest" meetings, and submit a written summary of their speaker's presentations and any relevant discussions.

• Students are introduced via e-mail prior to the symposium and encouraged to read about the speaker's research
• Preceding the symposium is a "preview" meeting in which two of the participating students chair the discussion
• Following the symposium is a "digest" meeting to discuss the presentations and the students’ experiences
• The written summary is to be vetted by the speaker prior to submission
• Students in the Specialization are required to participate in a minimum of 6 symposia
