Sociologists and anthropologists study how systems of power intersect with gender, race, age, and class; however, only occasionally do we discuss how these vectors of identity matter during fieldwork. Join Professor Yu Luo for a discussion examining how we as fieldworkers navigate our own positions in the field and handle interpersonal interactions given the uneven power relations we have with our informants.

This workshop is hosted by the Center for Writing and Learning and the Center for Speech and Effective Advocacy. We welcome thesis or capstone writers at any stage of their process. We will discuss drafting and revision strategies for approaching a long term writing project, and how to translate your writing into a professional oral presentation. Have you ever considered presenting your work at an academic conference? We'll share tips to get you started in this process. 

This event is co-hosted by the Center for Writing and Learning and the Center for Speech and Effective Advocacy. In this event, we will discuss how to use the work you've done with your thesis or capstone during a job interview. You will craft a 30-second elevator pitch about your thesis that helps reach audiences outside your field. A representative from Career and Employment Services will also be co-leading this event.

Poached ivory is consolidated, packaged, and shipped from Africa to Asia by large transnational criminal organizations (TCOs). When such a shipment is intercepted, we want to know (a) where did the ivory come from, and (b) which shipments likely came from the same TCO?
