Sustainability Services will be collecting everyone's old and moldy pumpkins for compost on Wednesday, November 9 from noon to 2 p.m. with the goal of diverting pumpkins from the landfill where they create more unnecessary methane and greenhouse gas emissons. This is open and encouraged for all students, staff, and faculty!

Sociologists and anthropologists study how systems of power intersect with gender, race, age, and class; however, only occasionally do we discuss how these vectors of identity matter during fieldwork. Join Professor Yu Luo for a discussion examining how we as fieldworkers navigate our own positions in the field and handle interpersonal interactions given the uneven power relations we have with our informants.
