CASCA

Astrid, one of the other researchers here, has just finished a presentation at the CASCA conference.
CASCA (Canadian Anthropology Society-Société Canadienne d'Anthropologie) was hosted at the Department of Anthropology, UBC last week.

The title of the conference was "Transnational Anthropologies: Convergences and Divergences in Globalized Disciplinary Networks", and it was a great venue to showcase the RRN.

Astrid gave a workshop on the site to a small audience and said that it was a great experience.

While Astrid was busy showing off the RRN, Nick, Sue and I were in Seattle visiting the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture. I'd never been to the Burke before, and was incredibly impressed with the museum. Hopefully we'll see their collection on the RRN eventually!

Aside from that, we're still thinking about usability and trying to find ways to access all potential user groups. Tristan and I are going to set up a small booth in the Anthropology department today to hopefully grab a couple of students to see if our testing method is up to par.

Also on the agenda for today is a brief Skype meeting with our community liaisons in Alert Bay, Chilliwack and Musqueam.


Remember, send me a quick email if you'd like to participate in any of our wonderful usability surveys!
