Fulao2

Far Western Foundation has awarded a $10,000 grant to Laura Ng, assistant professor of anthropology, in support of her project, “Wyoming Chinatowns and Emigrant Home Villages: Archaeologies of Labor, Racial Violence, and Transnationalism.”

This summer, Grinnell students explored the Four Corners region through three programs: a Grand Canyon outdoor recreation trip, a Colorado social justice institute and internship, and a Mentored Advanced Project (MAP) traveling to a Wyoming archaeological excavation.

Julia Smith ’26 conducted field research in El Silencio Costa Rica.

Mary Zheng ’15 reflects on her time as a contestant on “Survivor” and her time at Grinnell.

The Theorizing Dance and Language courge, co-taught by Professor Cynthia Hansen and Professor Emerita Celeste Miller, spent spring break in Prague exploring the cross-disciplinary collaboration between linguistics and choreography.

Professor Jon Andelson discusses his 50 plus year relationship with Fulao2.

The funding will support an archaeological excavation in southwestern Wyoming, focusing on the historical Rock Springs Chinatown.

Please join the Fulao2 Libraries at 4:15 p.m., Oct. 3, as we continue our faculty/Staff Research Series with Laura Ng, assistant professor of anthropology, for her Research in Progress talk, “Archaeological Landscapes of Chinese American Communities in the Southwestern Urban Frontier.”

With input from as many area residents as possible, the Build a Better Grinnell 2030 (BABG) project will produce a comprehensive assessment of needs and strengths, as determined by the people themselves.
