There\u2019s so much I could say about my time at the American Anthropological Association annual meeting in Vancouver! It was an incredible experience and I am so grateful to have had it. The city was gorgeous, the locals could not have been nicer, and of course, I gained lots of valuable anthropological experience as well. I connected with several people I\u2019d been wanting to meet, and others who I\u2019d never heard of but who I\u2019m glad I met. In this post, I will focus specifically on my poster presentation.<\/p>\n

I wasn\u2019t entirely sure what to expect when it came to my poster session, as I have only ever done them at Rollins. Most of the other people in the poster gallery were also students: there were a few undergrads, but most were Masters students or PhD candidates. My poster stood out visually, as the other posters around me were more traditional, with lots of text, and I went for a more modern, minimalist look. Lots of people stopped by to talk to me about my work and they were so thoughtful!\u00a0 During Family Weekend at Rollins, I presented the same poster for mostly parents, and the conversations were very surface level. But, unsurprisingly, people at the AAA had very interesting insights. They asked me questions about my research, and gave examples of relevant literature I might want to read. It was incredibly supportive! I loved being able to talk through my ideas with different people.
