Kia ora postgrads, Please see below about the need for a few postgrads to volunteer to staff our social anthropology table at the upcoming “Open Days”. There’s a link to a Google Doc to sign up and a link to a document for a little more info. Basically, you are a friendly face speaking to interested prospective students who approach the table (largely high schoolers) about why you love social anthropology and how they should study it too 😊. Please consider signing up to keep our department in the eyes and brains of incoming students! (Great little thing for CV’s too – falls under “service” for an academic CV).

We will need people to staff this Expo, and so I have created a roster to be filled out for each of these days. The Expo will be held for Humanities in the Otago Business School on these days. I have left space for 2x people at each time slot and ideally having one postgraduate student at each one would be great for the prospective students to be able to chat to current students! Having staff at different points would also be beneficial for the prospective students. There is space for Notes on the roster as well if need be (such as being a back up when other times are full or not being sure at this point what availability may be).
