Calendar of Events

Meetings will be held every other Tuesday evening at 6pm in Munroe Hall room 103 (Conference Room). We will have faculty members and guest speakers come in to discuss their research topics.
In between the bimonthly meetings, there will be movie nights held every other Tuesday at 6:00pm in the same room 103 of Munroe Hall. These movies may have some relevance to any and all aspects of Anthropology. Refreshments will be served these nights, which could include popcorn, snacks, and drinks. Bring a blanket or a hoodie because the room we watch movies in is freezing cold!

Our events are still on the making as we move along the beginning of this new semester Fall 09. We will keep you updated through our emails.


Below is a list of dates and movies we watched last semester.
