The Ring: Cuba Field School
(June 9, 2017) - How do you really live a field school experience? According to 23 UVic anthropology students, you start by going off the beaten track for 30 days in Cuba, the biggest island in the Caribbean. Some of our students created original media projects about their experiences.
“We did not simply talk about Cuban culture in a classroom,” reflects Jenny Francoeur, a participant from the earlier field school in 2014. “Rather, we were invited to experience firsthand the dances, music and food we learned about through workshops, tours, dance classes and concerts.”
