Anthropology Club

For the fourth year in a row, the Anthropology Club will host the Sapiens
Symposium. We are asking all interested undergraduate students to
submit abstracts to dvaughn@ksu.edu by Friday, March 5. This event
has been great in the past, and we hope to make this year another
fantastic one! If you don’t know what the Sapiens Symposium is, here is
a description from previous years:

The Sapiens Symposium is an event dedicated to a collaboration of
student knowledge concerning issues of human experience and
interaction. Through the exchange of wisdom, the Sapiens Symposium
serves as a platform for like-minded individuals to present and discuss
topics that each find important to their respective field of study. It
is in the hopes of its organizers that the Sapiens Symposium will
cultivate an increased awareness of and tolerance for the many facets
of the human condition in a global village.

What are the benefits of presenting at the Sapiens Symposium?
* The Sapiens Symposium is a great opportunity to gain experience
presenting your own research to your peers and distinguished
professionals.

* It is also a great opportunity to put the final touches on your research for
those considering presenting at the Central States Anthropological
Society conference in April in Madison, Wisconsin or
submitting their paper for the Anthropology department’s Ibn Battuta award.

* You will have a unique chance for your peers and faculty to comment on
your research in an open atmosphere of constructive criticism, offering
suggestions for improvement and comments on excellence.

Studies, Cultural Studies, and Women’s Studies Majors.
