UCC is pleased to invite you to a free public event taking place in the Old Savings Bank to find out what anthropology is!

Just pop in, walk around and see what is on offer.
There will be live music from Aoife Granville and friends at 3pm and at 4pm, screenings of works from staff and students including a short film on the Dragon of Shandon throughout the afternoon hosted by Tatsuma Padoan. For those interested in tech and business anthropology James Cuffe will be there to advise on research and consultancy. In the evening at 5pm you can join JC MacQuarie on a ramble through the streets of Cork to discover the hidden lives of people at night, as the city prepares to go sleep, pray or party. Spots are limited for this walk so please sign up on eventbrite here.
This event will introduce people to the exciting variety within anthropological study.
The event will be of interest to students, parents and anyone curious to hear more about the 5 fields of Anthropology: socio-cultural, linguistic, archaeology, biological anthropology, and, applied anthropology. For the Cork business community come and hear how anthropology plays a key role in major companies such as Amazon, Google, Volkswagen and see how our research can help solve operational issues and identify market trends.
