Sheldon Scheps Memorial Library

The Scheps Memorial Library in the anthropology department is open Monday through Friday. The hours of operation are posted on the library door.

Student Lounge

The Anthropology department lounge is open from 9am to 5pm every weekday to graduate students.

Seminars and Lectures

Graduates are invited to attend the department's Boas Seminars and the Scheps Lecture series.

Seminars given by faculty (Columbia's Anthropology professors, visitors from other departments, and visitors from other Universities) who cannot be accommodated in the Boas Seminar and the Wednesday Faculty Workshop but with whom we would very much like to engage in a critical exchange; presentations made by graduate students; and screenings of interviews with major thinkers conducted for the Series Paths of Thought (for the Greek Public Television). We have a very modest budget for a lunch that precedes the seminar. The lunch takes place in the student lounge and the seminar itself in the reading room. The seminar starts at 12:45 and officially ends at 2:00, although the discussion usually goes on much longer.
