Stigler Lecture on Gender and Space in the Mongolian Taiga, Nov. 12
A Dukha reindeer herder in Mongolia.
The Department of Anthropology at the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences will present a lecture, "Gender and Space in the Mongolian Taiga," by Todd A. Surovell, professor and head of the Department of Anthropology at the University of Wyoming.
The lecture will be at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 12, in Giffels Auditorium on the second floor of Old Main, as part of the Robert L. Stigler Lecture in Anthropology and Archaeology series.
The event is free and open to the public and will be followed by a reception with Surovell immediately following the lecture.
Surovell's presentation will focus on his Dukha Ethnographical Project, researching the nomadic reindeer herders of Mongolia.
The lecture is a part of the Robert L. Stigler Lecture in Anthropology and Archaeology series. The series is supported through a trust established by Mr. and Mrs. Robert L. Stigler of Pine Bluff, in their son's memory. Its purpose is to bring distinguished scholars to address the university community and the public on diverse archaeological topics. The Stiglers' generous endowment of this lecture series is an especially fitting memorial to their son, who enjoyed a wide-ranging professional career in archaeology, and provides opportunities for all to share in the knowledge of past peoples and cultures.
