The Center is located in the Department
of Anthropology, with the approval and support of the Chairperson and the Dean,
Faculty of Arts and Sciences, University of Virginia. Complementing its
small Executive Committee, the Center draws on the University of Virginia's
faculty for its programs, representing different disciplines, schools,
divisions, Centers, and related programs.
A small
interdisciplinary Standing Committee of scholars guides the Center,
while its director is responsible for running it. The director also invites
experts to discuss specific projects and participate in particular programs
and activities. The Center actively promotes scholarly collaboration within
the University and, as appropriate, at national and international levels.
The Center's specific programs normally run in two, three or five year
cycles.
Main activities of
the center currently are:
- small round table
faculty-student discussions/presentations, often with a designated
speaker or discussant, on a previously announced subject or issue
- promotion of new courses
and seminars on suitable subjects
- publication of books,
manuals and occasional policy research reports
- collaborate with other
similar organizations for promotion of public awareness on specific
issues
