Cheers! Here we are
at the Friday night banquet. Sherry Ortner was keynote speaker and
delivered an interesting lecture about inter-ethnic relations among
her Newark, New Jersey high-school class. |
| In this wonderful candid
shot, we see Rob "getting in the zone" prior to presenting
his paper on cultural relocation in the Phillipines. |
 |
 |
Sarah impresses the
audience with her calm demeanor and engaging analysis of domestic
violence in Ghana. |
| Here's Alli just seconds
before casually sipping a delicious cold beverage during her presentation
on reproductive health in West Africa. |
 |
 |
As his session organizer
looks on, Jared informs us about scarce water resources in northern
India. |
| Rachel's
presentation was locally relevant, dealing with issues of injection
drug use and HIV prevention in Hartford. |
 |
 |
Kate,
Stephanie, and Theona applaud the efforts of Skidmore's Medical
Anthropology contingent. |
| Jonathan, a SUNY grad
student working with Professor Ennis-McMillan, did a great job. |
 |
 |
The conference's Connecticut
venue proved very convenient for supportive Skidmore families; here
we see the Ross and Sayko families bubbling with pride. |
| Not to be outdone,
Jason's family travelled all the way from New Hampshire to see their
son present a paper about the Skidmore North Woods. |
 |
 |
Skidmore Professors
of Anthropology Michael Ennis-McMillan
and Jill Sweet pose for the camera. They
really deserve the credit for Skidmore's success at the conference.
I doubt any institution can claim a more supportive and encouraging
faculty! |
| Students and Professors
relax after a busy day of presenting papers and attending sessions. |
 |
 |
A breakfast of champions...Lisa
seems to be enjoying her coffee! |
| Time to head back to
Skidmore. The conference was a good time. Hopefully, Skidmore will
send groups of anthropology students for years to come! |
