Students enrolled in Anthropology 394, Research Methods in Cultural Anthropology, conduct fieldwork exercises in the community and pursue research questions of local relevance.
This spring, students practiced their interpersonal and observational skills in an unfamiliar but friendly setting -- Lakeside's Beikirch Care Center. In April, the students participated in a "Coffee and Conversation" program with a group of lively residents. Images courtesy of Nancy Duff.

The Election 2008 Oral History Project took place in the spring of 2009. Students enrolled in ANT 394 interviewed participants about their memories and stories leading up to this historical event. Stories were collected at area libraries including the Brockport-Seymour Library event pictured below. This project was sponsored by the Rochester City Historian's Office, the Monroe County Historian's Office, Monroe County Library System and the Rochester Regional Library Council.
