Hi guys, I'm Maddy. I'm a first year student and haven't declared a major yet, but anthropology has been an interest of mine for quite awhile. I chose to do this course because death is such a fascinating and mysterious subject, and the way different people approach it has always intrigued me. Whether a society welcomes or rejects death, the rituals surrounding it give us insight into their culture and tell a great deal about their lives. I was obsessed with Pharaoh's tombs in ancient Egypt as a kid, so this morbid fascination with death and archaeology was sparked at a young age.
People's beliefs surrounding death and the afterlife also allows you to see someone in an entirely different way. This combination of history and human nature is why I love anthropology, there is no other field with such an array of perspectives you get to see the world through.
