Adjunct Professor Dave Paulson visited Van Lang University in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam to give a presentation entitled “Digital and Visual Approaches to Cultural Heritage Preservation.”

Hosted by Dr. Quang Dai Tuyen from the Faculty of Tourism & Institute of Heritage and Development Studies, this event engaged with case studies from around the world to explore the ways that local communities utilize innovations in technology to protect, promote, and revitalize their ancestral traditions in language, culture, and music.

The Department of Anthropology celebrates opportunities like these to not only conduct research in international contexts, but also engage with scholars and students abroad in the interests of furthering our understanding of what makes us uniquely human.

Anthropology 311 Capstone in Applied Anthropology: Students spent the semester investigating SCSU students' knowledge of the harms from single use plastic and the recycling culture at SCSU.

Their final exam included creating educational materials and designing a resusable water bottle, and then educating the student body.

Today participants spun the famous Anthroplogy Wheel of Human Knowledge to test their knowledge of plastic and then were rewarded with our free custom bottle.
