On Friday, December 4th UConn Early College Experience and UConn ECE Faculty Coordinator for Anthropology Associate Professor Dr. Alexia Smith met with ECE Anthropology Instructors for their annual professional development conference. Instructors received two books in preparation for the meeting.

• White Fragility by Robin Diangelo
• Eating Culture by Gillian Crowther

The group had a productive conversation about the two books and discussed strategies for teaching race and racism today as well as ways to use ethnographic observations of food as a platform for discussing broad anthropological concepts.

UConn Anthropology courses offered through UConn ECE.
