About winter term projects - AUCA is always open to students coming either informally or formally, just have them contact me. A more viable option for field research is the new AUCA-Bard study abroad
program, which provides for language work, coursework, and fieldwork for anthropology students. We have a great department that is always willing to accomodate foreign students and researchers from all
levels...

William Griscom (OC '07) I'm currently a fourth year graduate student in the cognitive psychology program at UC Berkeley, working with Prof. Stephen Palmer on questions related to visual perception, culture & aesthetics.

I would love to talk with any students who are interested in studying the psychology of culture & cognition.  Our lab regularly take undergraduate and post-bacc volunteers who are looking to gain research experience in preparation for grad school.

RachShea Winsett (OC 08) Completed my Masters Degree in Historical Archaeology at the College of William and Mary.  I am currently working on my dissertation proposal in Historical Anthropology at William and Mary.  I focus on African American history, identity and race and racialization.

I am not in charge of the project but if there are Anthropology majors looking for a field school in Historic Archaeology, the College of William and Mary offers a field school at Colonial Williamsburg.  I also work in the Institute for Historical Biology (IHB) so if students are interested in doing research on biological anthropology and community engagement, the IHB is a great resource.
