A light lunch is provided.

A forum in which Yale faculty, students, and guests meet to discuss their ethnographic and theoretical interests. Its purposes are to foster a sense of academic community, to allow researchers to receive suggestions and feedback, and to allow Yale ethnographers to learn about each other's research. Presentations range anywhere from informal discussions with panel speakers about practical matters to finished conference papers.

The following Colloquium is made possible by the generous support of the Yale University Dean's Fund.

Colloquium Organizers: Abigail Dumes, Susanna Fioratta and Ryan Sayre
