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.

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.
