A Wonderful Day for Anthropology

“It’s a wonderful day for anthropology!”

Every anthropology student at LSU knows these immortal opening words of Dr. Bob Tague, unquestionably one of the greatest teachers I’ve ever had and the inspiration for the title of this blog.

Hi, my name is Sophia Kunen. A New Orleans native and the youngest of three, I was born on April 27^th, 1987 to a graphic design artist and a psychologist. I graduated from Benjamin Franklin High School in 2005, just months before Hurricane Katrina and poorly engineered levees brought 9 feet of water into my family’s home.  I am now a senior at Louisiana State University majoring in Anthropology.

Originally interested in Psychology and Sociology, I finally found my calling in the holistic field of Anthropology.  Although I haven’t declared a concentration, I anticipate this blog will be a helpful resource. I hope to explore Archaeological, Biological, Cultural, and Linguistic Anthropology to the fullest extent and learn from others who share my passion for the field.
