Western Anthropology 4th Annual Graduate Student Conference
Western Anthropology Graduate Student Conference - March 4-6, 2016
Plans for the 4th Annual Anthropology Graduate Conference are currently underway. We are excited to announce the theme for the 2016 WAGS conference will be "Competing Voices in Cultural Spaces". This was developed based on the facebook poll, and the accompanying discussion.
This conference will provide graduate and undergraduate students the opportunity to reflect critically on differences and conflicts between ‘voices’, whether they are researcher or subject voices, and ‘cultural spaces’, which can include, linguistic, physical, or online/offline boundaries.
Conference schedule now available!

Keynote Speaker
The Western Anthropology Graduate Society is pleased to announce that Dr. Roger Ivar Lohmann, Associate Professor of Anthropology at Trent University, will be the keynote speaker at our upcoming conference: Competing Voices in Cultural Spaces, March 4th-6th, 2016. His research has focused on the study of dreaming, religion and cultural change, as well as other compelling topics such as human ecology, empathy, morality, and the causes of war. Dr. Lohmann has conducted ethnographic research among the Asabano people of Papua New Guinea. He is a strong proponent of the ‘four-field approach’ to anthropology, believing that a holistic approach is one of the disciplines most compelling strengths.
