Dr. Bruce Roberts presented at the 2015 Central States Anthropological Society Annual Meeting
Dr. Bruce Roberts, Anthropology and Earth Science, recently presented Cellphones, Simba and Selfies: The Impact of Mobile Technology on the Study Abroad Experience as part of the session Pedagogy and Practice: Experiential Learning in Anthropological Education at the 2015 Central States Anthropological Society Annual Meeting in Saint Paul. His paper considered some of the changes that have taken place in study abroad with the rapid development of mobile communications technology and the Internet as well as the implications these innovations have for the inter-cultural learning experience. Other papers in the session dealt with matters such as service learning, community engagement, flipping the classroom (with zombies!), and the use of three dimensional imaging.
