The goal of the conference is to enable graduate and undergraduate students of anthropology and related disciplines to present and engage with research in a student-centric space. This year will mark the 14th annual ANTHRO+ Conference, and we are interested in highlighting research both inside and outside the discipline of anthropology. While normally an in-person only event, this year ANTRHO+ will be held online over the course of Saturday, March 11, 2023, from 9 AM to 5 PM. This year’s theme, Anthropology of Community: Reconnecting with the Field, focuses on emerging methods that have assisted the anthropologist/researcher in connecting with a new field given the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, our focus on community opens up a discussion of community-engaged methodologies, work on heritage, and the understanding of the socio-cultural implications of change or continuity and people’s response to it in both the past and present.
