Walter Roth Museum’s cultural anthropology course starts June 30

Jun 18, 2008 News

The Walter Roth Museum is offering a six-week cultural anthropology summer course that will incorporate classroom sessions and a two-week study of an Amerindian community.

Cultural anthropology, the study of living society, is quite an exciting experience, according to the museum’s administrative manager, Jennifer Wishart.

She said that quite a number of the University of Guyana students are involved in this course and there is no age limit for participation.

The course commences on June 30, with students being taught the basics of cultural anthropology within the first week.

During the second week, a few American students of the University of Virginia from the United States of America would join the course which would be taught by Dr. George Mentore, Associate Professor of Anthropology of the same university.

For two weeks, the students would be stationed in Surama Village, an Amerindian community in Region Nine where each student will engage in research of a particular aspect of cultural anthropology.

At the end of the training, students will write a final examination which will be rated according to the University of Virginia grading system.

The museum will also be offering an archaeology course which will be taught by Dr. Mark Plew from the Boise State University.
