For future, current, and past Anthropology students at UHCL and for those that have an interest in our program and activities! What it is: Anthropology is a unique discipline that studies the human being as a whole.
(1)
The Anthropology Program at UHCL focuses on Cultural Anthropology—using cross-cultural research, cultural anthropologists attempt to make meaning of the different ways to be human, as well as focus on the ‘How?’ and ‘Why?’ of cultural ways, the causes, connections, and effects of certain elements of culture. Studying cultural anthropology leads one to understand how culture influences our lives and how it is, often unwittingly, reproduced by parents, institutions, and media. Graduates with a Bachelors in Anthropology from UHCL have a unique skill-set and are able to work in diverse industries as experts in cross-cultural research, relations and communication. Graduates are also skilled in library research, writing, critical thinking, logic, public speaking, statistics, mapping skills, photography, ethnographic methods, and qualitative research methods.

Winter 2019 and Summer 2020 ethnographic methods field school in Isla Mujeres, Mexico:
Greetings,
My name is Todd Pierce and I am the Director at the Isla Mujeres Ethnographic Field School (on the small Caribbean island, Isla Mujeres, Mexico).
We are currently accepting enrollment to our winter 2019 and summer 2020 Field School sessions. Our main program is our 8-week long Advanced Methods course (May 30 to July 26) where students create a professional research proposal (using the Wenner Gren Foundation format), conduct the research and present their data in an open-to-the-public conference on the island, as well as prepare academic journal style articles intended for publication.
Our students not only learn how to create a professional academic research proposal (which must be completed, with our guidance, before their arrival), receive training on the theory, ethics and methods of ethnographic research, experience cultural and linguistic immersion, conduct the proposed research (that is participatory, community based and service learning informed) and present their data in a conference, but are also guided to publish their research results in peer-reviewed academic journals. And many succeed in doing so.
It would be much appreciated if you could forward this e-mail to your students.
The Isla Mujeres Ethnographic Field School specializes in community-based projects and trains students on how to conduct ethnographic research. Located on a small Mexican Caribbean island, much of the student research is focused on community needs per their request. We also encourage students to have their research align with the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. This allows for the students to not only consider their research within the context of theory and previous research or how it can impact the local community, but also how it can be of service in a much larger global effort and context.
https://una-gp.org/the-sustainable-development-goals-2015-2030/
Some of our current areas of interest: Culture & Environment, Latin America & Caribbean, Medical Anthropology, Gender & Identity, History, Space & Meaning, and Economic Development. There is a wide variety of subjects for research. In the past, some students have conducted research on diabetes, body image and health, GLBT+ identity, teenage pregnancy, HIV and Dengue Fever prevention, Economic Development and tourism, Sea Turtle, reef and Whale Shark conservation.
Winter 2019 Winter Methods Practicum: December 6 - 15

We have a nice class forming up for our 9 day long Winter 2018 Methods Practicum Session (Dec 6 to 15). We are still accepting applications, so please share this information with those who might want to attend. The deadline for applications is November 15th. Undergrads to Post-Docs are welcomed to attend.
From the festival of Guadalupe here on the island to site visits to Chich Itza and Ek Balam, along with an underground cenote swim, this will be a fun and informative week for our students!

The Isla Mujeres Ethnographic Field School (I.F.S.) is dedicated to the professionalization of ethnographic research and the training of students on how to conduct ethical, meaningful and professional research. Our mission is to train ethnographers that we are confident in and that we know can get the job done. Be it future graduate school research or projects for employers. Our trained ethnographers can tackle a research project from beginning to end with confidence, experience, and know-how.
Students will participate in formal lectures, informal presentations, service learning, government meetings and briefings, and ethnographic research that serves to assist the people of Isla Mujeres either through applied anthropological techniques or through creating a more full ethnographic record that illuminates the island's past, present, and possible future. Students will be immersed in the culture of the island and will conduct collaborative research with its residents. Students will learn the value of teamwork by helping each other on projects, talking through field research problems and supporting each other in their professional development.
We train both undergraduate and graduate students. We also have post-docs who attend the Field School for further training and career development. Our program gives students the cutting edge needed to get into good graduate school programs, develop graduate school dissertation research (which will help in securing research funding for dissertations) and will help them land the job they want in the discipline. Some undergraduates have used their experience and data for senior thesis projects, while graduate students use it for pilot research to develop their Master's thesis or Doctoral dissertations.
Sincerely,
Todd G. Pierce, Ph.D.
