Welcome!
Welcome to the library resources guide for Anthropology of Consciousness, Fall 2020. What better time to explore our consciousness than now, with our lives turned upside down during a pandemic and a new (and somewhat confusing) way of taking classes. But whether you are taking this class in person, remotely, or that mysterious "HY-FLEX" mix, I'm here to help you to navigate our library resources and assist with your research. I'm virtually "embedded" in the course, so you will be "seeing me" most weeks. You might also check out our general Anthropology guide.
See you all soon!
