At MAS we provide training opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students at KSU and abroad. Undergraduate students at Kansas State University can gain training in teaching and research through Research Assistantships and Teaching Asisstanships. Training at MAS results in analytical, communicational, statistical, and teaching skills. Our students go forward to graduate, medical, and law schools, while others pursue careers in teaching, cultural resource management, and health sciences.
Dr. Alfonso-Durruty has been fortunate to teach at a wide array of institutions, including public and private Universities in the United States and Chile (Kansas State University, The College of William and Mary, University of Pennsylvania, Universidad de Chile, and Universidad Alberto Hurtado –Chile). Courses taught include: (1) Introduction to Biological Anthropology, (2) Introduction to Archaeology, (3) Human origins and Prehistory, (3) Plagues: the co-evolution of human and pathogens, (4) Human Osteology, (5) Bioarchaeology, (6) Dental Anthropology; (7) Forensic anthropology, (8) Andean Archaeology, (9) Human growth and development, (10) Darwinian (evolutionary) medicine, (11) Research Design, (12) Principles of Biological Anthropology (graduate seminar), and (13) Introduction to Human Evolution.
In these courses, students learn forensic, archaeological and bioarchaeological methods, laboratory report writing, and statistics. In human osteology and forensic anthropology, I teach students anatomic, osteological, bioarchaeological, and individualization methods. During Forensic Anthropology, I also teach statistical principles and laboratory report writing.
Students working at MAS train in laboratory practices, statistical analysis, R, and sample preparation. All students are welcome into a stimulating, collaborative, and fostering environmnent!
