Events
Welcome to the Department of Anthropology's events page! Events are open to all members
of the University of South Carolina community and the public. Topics range from scholarly
research to industry advice (e.g., careers, publishing, research).
In
particular, the Colloquia Series hosts local scholars and invited guests who cover
engaging research from around the world. They are an excellent opportunity to learn
about groundbreaking anthropological research, to meet and interact with scholars,
