Anthropology Jr.
“Anthropology Jr.” is a curriculum that introduces the four subfields of anthropology to K-12 students. The first iteration was a one-hour community outreach program for middle school students in a Parks and Recreation summer camp in Hattiesburg, MS. Groups rotated through stations for linguistic anthropology, biological anthropology, cultural anthropology, and archaeology with hands-on activities such as super-hero interviews, digging for artifacts, and identifying human bones. Future curriculum will expand to include activities for a wider age range as well as address a wider breadth of state educational standards, such as those concerning Mississippi historical figures and state Native American populations.
