Changing Perspectives: Anthropology s Unique Life Lessons May 26, 2021
Yakin Ouederni
For Soraya Altorki, professor of anthropology, the study of anthropology is more a look into different perspectives on life than it is a science. That’s why she established the Soraya Altorki Award in Ethnographic Research, giving students the chance to write publishable work and increase their interest in anthropology. Each Spring, the Award Committee will select the best piece of ethnographic, for a $1000 prize.
“My hope is that [my students] have somehow picked up a perspective,” Altorki said about the award. “That s why and I feel so grateful for this opportunity. That s why I established an award for more of the graduate students to write some graphic piece that will help understand these different situations around us. I have a passion about anthropology.”
