The Department of Anthropology will host its annual Four Field Symposium on Friday, Oct. 30 from 1 to 4 p.m. in the Michigan Union Pendleton Room (second floor). Titled “The Work of Death,” the symposium will gather our four anthropology subfields for speaker presentations and discussion that bring multiple scholarly perspectives to bear on death and dying — universal human experiences with profound cultural, biological, social, and linguistic dimensions. Join us to explore death-related themes through time and across human societies.
