Undergraduate students enrolled in introductory cultural anthropology courses, both majors and non-majors, comprise our discipline’s largest public audience. More than a blog post, an op-ed or a citation in a major media piece, the introductory classroom provides anthropologists with opportunities for in-depth and extended presentation of the key research strategies and analytical frameworks of our field. This teaching workshop will explore effective strategies for engaging undergraduates.

Learning Objectives:

• Appreciate the classroom as an opportunity for public outreach
• Develop strategies for student engagement
• Apply techniques to enhance participation
