Anthropology

"I had the opportunity to attend high school overseas, and in doing so I found my passion for world cultures, languages and history. Jump forward a few years, when I enrolled at Nipissing I was in the education program on route to becoming an elementary school teacher. It wasn’t until I sat in on one of Dr. Carly Dokis’ lectures that I knew I wanted to be a part of the Anthropology program at Nipissing. Now despite the program being fairly small, the quality and passion of the faculty has not only helped me grow as an academic but has opened a lot of doors in my future in Archaeology. Between Carly’s passionate Cultural Anthropology lectures on her work with the Dene, and my practical work experience in Archaeology with one of the most interesting people I have ever met, Ken Swayze; I know that studying at Nipissing University will give me many opportunities that I may not have received at a larger school, and has given me the chance to rid my ignorance, and come to love local cultures such as the Nipissing and the Algonquin First Nations in Ontario."

"The experience that I had with my anthropology classes has been nothing but positive. Dr. Carly Dokis is an amazing professor who gives wonderful lectures and who is always there for students. All my professors were great and they are what makes the program truly unique by providing enriching experiences and the familiarity of one-on-one assistance to students."
