Meet some of our ANTH alumni
Dr. Stephanie Calce, by Therese Eley, Marketing Services
Camilla Cyr: BA '20:
During her undergraduate studies, Camilla found inspiration in deepening her ethnographic research skills after attending the 2018 CASCA-Cuba Ethnographic Field School (hosted by Dr. Boudreault-Fournier). Camilla is now enrolled in Master’s program in Anthropology at UVic and is continuing to experience Cuba through a research project that she will be working on with Dr. Alexandrine Boudreault-Fournier. The MA research project centers around the rapid socio-economic change that has led to a housing crisis in Cuba and the ways that Cubans show their anticipation and hope for a future through home de/construction and renovation. The project aims to use innovative research methodologies such as film, audio recordings, and architectural design.
Stephaine Calce: PhD '16:
Stephanie is the Senior Lab Instructor in the Department of Anthropology at UVic. She teaches a variety of undergraduate courses including the lab components of Archaeology, and Biological Anthropology, and courses on Forensic Anthropology, that includes an outdoor field school with hands-on experience of forensic excavation and field recovery techniques. Stephanie manages access to the Zooarchaeology research collection, teaches in Continuing Studies, and is a Let’s Talk Science Program Coordinator. She completed the Visiting Scientist Internship at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Manhattan, New York City, and regularly consults on forensic cases for the RCMP, VICPD and Saanich Police. Stephanie is still actively involved in her research of age variation in the human skeleton. She investigates the process of skeletal aging in both the past and present using 3D imaging techniques to improve our ability to estimate age-at-death from bone's physical appearance. Stephanie is a Vanier Scholar and the 2020 recipient of the Gilian Sherwin Alumni Award, the highest honour for teaching excellence at the University of Victoria for her position.
Chris Hebda: MA '19:
In true grad student fashion, Chris continues to take on too many projects, even after finishing his degree. Chris works as an archaeologist/palaeoecologist with Cordillera Archaeology in association with the Hakai Institute, and he also works as an anthropological consultant conducting traditional use studies for First Nations across BC. In his role as an archaeologist, Chris draws on the hands-on skills and knowledge he learned during both his undergraduate and graduate work at UVic, especially from the numerous fieldwork opportunities he was lucky enough to participate in. In his role as a researcher for traditional use studies, Chris collaborates with Indigenous knowledge holders when they are consulted by government and industry to demonstrate long-term use and occupancy in various parts of the province. The research skills and perspectives fostered by the anthropology department have been invaluable when interacting with people from all walks of life as part of this work. Also, the writing skills learned in the department have been extremely helpful when buried beneath a mountain of reports!
