Congratulations to Amelia Hubbard for being named an Outstanding CoLA Award Recipient for Early Career Achievement.
Amy currently teaches courses looking at...
- Human skeletal and dental variation and what different features can tell us about a person's past occupation, health, etc.
- The evolution of our "hominin" (pre-human) ancestors and how evolutionary processes work
- How social and cultural features such as race and gender are not biologically based
... with the goal of helping her students to appreciate diversity (biological and cultural) and to become better equipped to read and understand popular science pieces while valuing the wonders (and limitations) of a scientific perspective.
Amy joined the Department of Sociology and Anthropology in Fall of 2012, and she enjoys both her students' enthusiasm for learning and the diversity of backgrounds and perspectives that they bring to her classroom.
