SUMMARY:SACC Great Lakes Regional Conference
DESCRIPTION:Society for Anthropology in Community Colleges (SACC) \nGreat Lakes Regional Conference at the Field Museum \nSaturday\, April 27\, 2024 \nThe Field Museum\, Chicago\, Illinois \nOrganized by Evin Rodkey\, Ph.D. of Muskegon Community College in Muskegon\, Michigan and Isabel Scarborough\, Ph.D. of Parkland College\, a community college in Champaign\, Illinois \nCome Join Us to… \nPRESENT AT OR PARTICIPATE IN ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSIONS! \nENJOY AN INSIDER’S GUIDED TOUR OF THE FIELD MUSEUM! \nEXPLORE THE MUSEUM ON YOUR OWN WITH FREE TIME! \nThe Society for Anthropology in the Community Colleges (SACC)\, a section of the American Anthropological Association (AAA)\, is holding a Great Lakes Region conference at the Field Museum in Chicago. This is a one-day conference taking place on Saturday\, April 27\, 2024. Though a regional conference\, no matter where you are located\, you are welcome to attend! \nThis conference is intended to bring together anthropology instructors\, students\, and interested others\, including from outside anthropology\, to discuss issues relevant to teaching\, learning\, and otherwise engaging with material relevant to anthropology. Two major features of this conference are an approximately one-hour guided tour of select exhibits and their connections to contemporary museum practice\, plus 2-3 hours of free time to explore the Museum all included in the (see below – very cheap) registration fee! \nCheck-in opens at 9:00 am at the west entrance and at 9:30 am we will begin with roundtable-style discussions\, which can include visual presentations using a projector and poster presentations as well. These sessions will be arranged by the organizers according to the topic proposals received. There is no specific theme; we welcome a wide range of topics relevant to the material we deal with in anthropology. \nA lunch break will follow the presentations and discussions. You are welcome to bring your own food\, which will be safely stored\, though note refrigerators\, freezers\, microwaves\, etc. will not be available. You may also purchase food from either of the two Field Museum eateries: The Field Bistro on the main level (open 8:00 am – 4:30 pm)\, which\, per the Museum website\, features “locally sourced food and quick grab-and-go service” or The Explorer Café on the ground level (open 10:00 am – 4:00 pm)\, which\, per the website\, offers “family-friendly foods in a casual environment.” \nFollowing lunch\, we will be treated to a one-hour guided tour of select exhibits conducted by Mario Longoni\, Lead Environmental Social Scientist at the Keller Science Action Center in the Museum\, who has been with the Museum for over 25 years. Through the exhibits “Abbott Hall of Conservation: Restoring Earth\,” “Maori Meeting House\, Ruatepupuke II\,” and “The Changing Face of Science\,” Mario will illustrate shifts in the Museum’s methods and goals as a teaching\, change making\, and representing institution. He will also highlight “Chicago’s Legacy Hula” and “Native Truths: Our Voices\, Our Stories” as key exhibits you can visit on your own. \nFollowing the tour\, you will then have 2-3 hours of free time in the Museum! \nThe conference then officially ends at 4:45 pm\, ahead of the Museum closing at 5:00 pm. We will meet at a designated location in Stanely Field Hall (the main area at the center of the Museum) to close out. And we will make plans to meet in the evening for dinner for those who can and would like to! \nTO SUBMIT A PRESENTATION PROPOSAL: \nYou may and participate in the discussions attend without presenting.
