Women in Anthropology Past and Present

The March event will showcase the work of Anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston,  who visited the Grand Army Hall in Beaufort collecting information and Anthropology doctoral candidate Pasama Cole-Kweli who is currently doing research and working on her thesis while living here on St. Helena Island. 

Pasama will share the importance of having a role model like the late Zora Neale Hurston to inspire her in her pursuit of a career in anthropology. In addition guest will hear stories about her research experience and what it's like living in the Lowcountry of South Carolina and learning about the Gullah Geechee culture.

Like Zora Neale Hurston's programs often included music, we will showcase the musical culture of the sea islands. Of course the event will feature a farm to table meal that will highlight local seafood. Our guest caterer for this event will be Sherrie Jackson owner of the Gullah Express Foodtruck.
