Anthropology

TRIP: France 2004

During spring break of 2004, a group of students from Professor Harold Juli's Anthropology 340: Human Origins class traveled together on a TRIP to southwestern France to study paleolithic cave art. The course traces the evolution of the human species from an anthropological perspective, and the human evolutionary record from its primate beginnings to the emergence of Homo sapiens.

This TRIP was funded through a bequest from Barbara Weinberg Cohen '62 and the combined gifts of Joseph Cohen and Susan Eckert Lynch '62. Barbara's husband and former classmate felt that their gifts in Barbara's memory would help Connecticut College students discover France, a country dear to Barbara's heart, in a meaningful and lasting way.

TRIP, Traveling Research and Immersion Program, provides unique learning opportunities as faculty members and students engage in academic and research immersion experiences together. The courses expand the boundaries of traditional classroom learning, and as students and faculty bring their findings back to campus, they deepen intellectual discussion campus-wide.
