  • SOAR Position: Member
  • Major: Anthropology

Current Focus: The evolution of oral histories in France

Project Description

This summer I will be traveling to France with Dr. Saul as part of the MTSU Signature Program, Forensic Aviation Archaeology. We will be working at an excavation site in a small village in southwest France, just outside Paris. The trip is primarily focused on the archaeological aspect of the project, but since the focus for my major is cultural anthropology, I will be taking the opportunity to interview residents of the village while I am there. I'm hoping to compile interviews
