The Department of Sociology & Anthropology
Senior Symposium, Spring 2010
On May 5, 2010, the Department of Sociology & Anthropology hosted its sixth annual Senior Research Symposium. At the event, students presented the results of research that they conducted over the course of the capstone Senior Seminar during the Spring 2010 semester. Dr. Anne Esacove led that seminar and introduced the program at the Symposium..
Students draft their proposals in the Fall Research Methodology I course, and carry out the research in their senior year during the Spring capstone seminar. The Senior Symposium, held every May, provides those students with a professional opportunity to gain experience in presenting data to an academic community, a skill that is highly valued in graduate programs of study.
