Dumplings from around the world on AnthroDay!

Feb. 26, 2024

On February 15, the Department of Anthropology celebrated AnthroDay with dumplings from around the world. Students, faculty, and staff joined together in making this another fantastic Anthropology Day celebration. Professor and chair João Biehl welcomed all to the event. Assistant Professor Ikaika Ramones and Lecturers Onur Günay and Thalia Gigerenzer gave wonderful summaries of their current research work. Professor Ramones shared an excerpt from his book manuscript, talking about his relationship to anthropology and approach to writing ethnography. Dr. Gigerenzer shared an anecdote from her ethnographic research about how a recipe can serve as a rich ethnographic data point. Global South Visiting Scholar, Munira Khayyat also spoke to the crowd about her recent book, A Landscape of War: Ecologies of Resistance and Survival in South Lebanon. The crowd enjoyed tasty dumplings including Gyoza, Shumai, Loukoumades, Samosas, Pierogies, Empanadas, Gnocchi and many more.

Anthropology Day is a day for anthropologists to celebrate the discipline while sharing it with the world around them.
