URI Anthropology Society

Tuesdays at 6:15 in 193 Coffee House in the Memorial Union

 

Welcome to the page of the URI Anthropology Society, a place for everyone who shares a mutual interest in any and all things involving the world of anthropology. We work to spread awareness of the exciting, challenging and sometimes hair-raising discipline of anthropology while continuing to explore what it means to be an anthropologist.

What do we have going on? Lecture series on current events about anthropological and global topics, field trips and outings, dinners, potlucks and Meet-and Greets to name a few of the upcoming events going on in the Society.

You definitely won't want to miss any of it!

Get a little more in touch with the world and the culture around you. We meet each Tuesday at 6:15 p.m. in the 193 Coffee House in the Memorial Union. See you there!

For more information please email us.

We also have a Facebook page that we use to keep everyone in the know, Like us!

Anthropology Honor Society


URI Anthropology students have been chartered as the Alpha Rhode Island Chapter of Lamda Alpha, the national anthropology honor society. This is a tribute to the hard work of several students and to the academic excellence of our majors and our faculty. Right now, the recruitment of charter members is underway. If you're interested in being one of the first Lamda Alphas, shoot off an email to Ashley Waggoner for all the details.

The URI Anthropology Society is also up and running. Check out their page too.
