China 2001: Butler University/Freeman Foundation Student-Faculty Fieldwork Trip
Modified 26 September 2001

The China 2001 Summer Fieldwork team participated in an undergraduate symposium in Asian studies organized and hosted by the Asian Studies Program at Marietta College on September 20-22, 2001. This was a wonderful opportunity for the students to present their preliminary results based on this past summer's fieldwork and to exchange ideas with peers and faculty from outside Butler. Butler Anthropology junior Abby Pickens also came with the China 2001 team to Marietta to present a paper. In addition to our Butler students, there were students from Notre Dame, Bowling Green, Mount Union College, and Marietta presenting a wide array of papers from a variety of disciplines. We would like to thank our host, Prof. Matthew Young of Marietta, for this wonderful opportunity.
In the picture on the right, the students are listening to the welcoming open forum on "China and the 2008 Olympics" with panelists from China (3 faculty, 3 students).
