Hi and welcome.
To this is our Cultural and
Linguistic laboratory room.
This is where we have active
teaching on a regular basis.
So right now, you see it's set
up for my team based classes.
I teach my grant writing
class, for example, in here.
So our computers, you'll see we
have computers along the room
this is for students to work
together and do transcriptions.
It's absolutely essential
in linguistic anthropology
that people can read out
the details of speech
and really understand
the play that's
involved in our regular speech.
These are anthropology labs.
And we are so lucky at Miami
to have this fabulous teaching
space.
So we have a lab for the
cultural and linguistic
anthropology, a separate
one for our bioanthro,
and a separate one for
archeology anthropology
with all of our
teaching collection.
So students can have
hands on learning.
Hello my name is Dr. Jeb Card.
This is the Biological
Anthropology teaching
laboratory classroom.
And in here we have about 1,300
real archeological artifacts
of a collection of about
10,000 that I manage.
And I work heavily
with students.
And they help manage what was
at one time a museum collection.
But as a department,
Miami's anthropology
made the decision
we'd rather have
all of our students
working with these assets
rather than a
small number, which
is a pretty amazing thing.
You don't get this at other
undergraduate institutions
for the most part.
This is one of the
reasons why we're
able to put students into good
jobs, into good grad schools,
and to get them to do what
they really want to do.
Thank you for visiting with
us in our teaching classroom
laboratories for the Department
of Anthropology at Miami.
And I hope to see you here soon.
