Winter 2024: ANTH 210 Introduction to Environmental Anthropology
About: Anthropologists have long been interested in the relationships between people and the natural environment. For most of human history, the relationship between humans and the environments in which they have lived was largely one of resource extraction with relatively low levels of impact. This relationship with the environment changed quite dramatically after the advent of food domestication, as well as after the Industrial Revolution, and has kept pace ever since with new technological innovations and increased global political-economic relations between human populations that have affected the natural world at large.  

We are hosting workshops this coming Winter Quarter on January 9th and January 23rd at 4:30 pm in FSH 203 for any UW students planning on applying to the NOAA Hollings Scholarship. The upcoming workshop sessions will be structured around applicants being paired with graduate student mentors to receive multiple rounds of feedback on the written components of the application, as well as help with filling out the rest of the application form.

Why did you decide to study marine biology?

I was in elementary school, probably 2nd or 3rd grade, sitting in the library with nothing to do, quite bored. I decided to take a browse in the science section, because my interest in the fiction available at the time was low. As I sifted through, I stumbled across this encyclopedia of different shark species and some surface level facts about them.
