Focus

The web journal, entitled Focus: An Online Publication of Undergraduate Articles and Photography in Anthropology, was created and produced by Kate Adams, Class of 2002 as her senior honors project. Two years in the making, the peer-reviewed journal devotes itself to publishing the best work produced by college anthropology students. Articles in the first issue explore topics ranging from French feminism to Tibetan legends in Darjeeling, and from caffeine and bone research to experimental stone tool butchering. The photography gallery publishes images shot in international locations with diverse settings including protests and celebrations, markets and workplaces. A journal of truly national proportions, Focus has attracted contributors from institutions such as the University of California at Berkeley, Columbia University, Davidson College, the University of Chicago, and Washington University.
