? Imponderabilia - the international student anthropology journal
Imponderabilia is a new multidisciplinary student journal, a platform to share and exchange ideas, criticisms and reflections on anything anthropological (in the widest sense of the word - on anything related to culture and society). With contributions from students from different countries and disciplines, Imponderabilia tries to blur and overcome the boundaries between institutions, disciplines, theories, and between undergraduates and postgraduates.
Imponderabilia is about dialogue, exchange and interaction. Read the articles and think about them, but don't stop there. Respond with comments and reflections. Propose counterarguments and criticisms. And contribute to the next issue.

London Anthropology Day at the British Museum's Clore Centre
9th July 2009

The London Anthropology Day is an annual university taster day for Year 12, 13, FE students, careers advisers and teachers.

The event is held at the British Museum's Clore Centre. On the day, participants get to learn what anthropology is about, the types of careers anthropologists do, as well as gain hands-on experience of what it is like to study the subject at university. Anthropology lecturers from all over the UK provide interactive workshops on the day. Students are able to learn about the different types of university degrees and the various specialisations of different universities. The event also provides participants with the opportunity to look around the Museum’s “ethnographic” (anthropological) galleries and interact with anthropology students who are volunteers for the day. The day is free and open to Year 12, 13 and FE Students, UCAS Advisers, AimHigher co-ordinators and teachers interested in using anthropology in the classroom.
