This year's Anthropology Student Forum is going to be a bit different. Since everything has been made virtual, we are transitioning into a virtual forum format. Before the forum on April 30th, there will be pre-recorded presentations available to watch. This way, on the day of the forum, we will discuss our thoughts and questions regarding each presentation.

Each link will guide you to the pre-recorded presentation, either via Dropbox or VIUTube:
