One of the things I really like about UVic
anthropology is, first of all, it focuses
on all the different fields of anthropology,
instead of just one.
Just the approach that anthropology takes,
as far as looking at people, and culture,
and society, really appealed to me.
I didn't know what I was interested in specifically,
when I began.
And from being able to do all the different
fields, I've learned more where I'm interested
in.
What I love about studying at UVic is the
impact our research has, and recently Dr.
Nowell, my supervisor, made headlines internationally
for her discovery of the oldest blood residue
on some tools from our site.
So, being on campus at UVic, I had access
to all of the materials, from the excavations
in Jordan, which I would not have the opportunity
anywhere else.
I feel very lucky to have been able to do
this sort of research that I've been able
to do at UVic with the people I've been able
to do it with.
I think, it's opened my mind in a lot of ways,
and it's opened up opportunities in a lot
of ways.
You know, after taking an anthropology course
in my second year.
It's now become part of my degree, in a big
way.
