*Apply now: 2018 Cuba Field School application package* <https://www.uvic.ca/socialsciences/anthropology/assets/docs/undergraduate/fieldschools/cuba/2018_UVIC_Cuba%20Field%20School%20application.pdf>

The 2018 field school is based in *Eastern Cuba *and combines two courses: Contemporary Cuban Culture (ANTH 393) and Methods in Ethnography (ANTH 395). The ‘Contemporary Cuban Culture’ course will encourage students to work closely with a selection of Cuban scholars participating to CASCA-CUBA. More specifically, in teams, and with the help of the assistant instructor Dr. Eleonora Diamanti, you will produce an audio-visual text (short film and/or podcast) about a topic related to the work of a Cuban scholar participating at CASCA-Cuba. As part of ANTH 395, you will conduct small-scale ethnographic exercises (observation, participant observation and interview) that will provide a concrete experience in conducting ethnographic fieldwork in a different cultural and linguistic context.

The application package is *due by November 9th at 4:00pm* in the Department of Anthropology's main office in Cornett B228. The office is open from 8:30am - 4:00pm for applications. Please email (anthtwo /at/ uvic.ca) or call 250-721-7047 if you have a question about submitting your application or payments.

*Non-UVic students: *Contact UVIC's registrar for pertinent information. <http://www.uvic.ca/graduatestudies/admissions/admissions/beforeapplying/specialadmission/> UVIC requires a letter of permission from your home institute and experience has shown that this can be a lengthy process. Students are responsible for arranging the transfer of credits to their home institutions where applicable.
