Independent Study (ANT489)
I supervise up to four students per semester in a one-semester independent study project. Students propose a topic, and together we organize a schedule of independent research and writing, resulting in a culminating project or paper. Students have investigated topics such as Dominican cultural values of hair; intersections among philosophy, theater, and culture; cultures of pet keeping; experiences of New York City blackouts by Mexican immigrants in Queens (among many others!).
