Truman Sociology/Anthropology and History major, Rudy Cesaretti, presented a poster at the American Anthropological Association annual meeting in Montreal, Canada last week. The poster focuses on visual interpretation of yearbook photos from the decades surrounding school consolidation in Schuyler and Putnam counties. This research supplements significant qualitative field work (TruScholars project summer 2011) and quantitative analysis Rudy is doing to learn more about the changing role of schools in community identity formation in rural northeast Missouri. He travelled to the AAA meeting with Dr. Amber Johnson, who also presented a paper on “Using Binford’s Frames of Reference to Model Mobility” in a session focused on both ethnographic and archaeological studies of mobility at multiple spatial and temporal scales.

  1. This morning we learned Rudy’s poster is one of 4 from this session recognized as “exemplary in terms of the excellence of its presentation” by judges representing the Society for Visual Anthropology. There will be acknowledgment of Rudy’s great work in the newsletter of the American Anthropological Association “Anthropology News” sometime this spring and a story on the website for the Society for Visual Anthropology.
