In doing so, this volume suggests alternative approaches to archaeological pedagogy and provides new narratives in theoretical discourse.”<\/span><\/p>\n Click here for more information: <\/span>https:\/\/www.berghahnbooks.com\/title\/RhodesArchaeogaming<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.qc.cuny.edu\/academics\/anthropology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2026\/07\/shibata-and-emoto.png” title_text=”shibata and emoto” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_heading title=”Adjunct Faculty Chihiro Shibata and Tomomi Emoto receive Zora Neale Hurston Writing Fellowships” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” title_level=”h4″ title_text_color=”#000000″ custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ module_alignment=”left” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n June 2026<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ module_alignment=”left” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Anthropology adjunct faculty members, Chihiro Shibata and Tomomi Emoto, just completed a summer residency program at Bard College for which they received Zora Neale Hurston Writing fellowships.
