 Date Begin: 2012-04-19\nEvent Date End: 2012-04-19\n\nShepard Krech III Pr
 ofessor Emeritus of Anthropology\, Brown University and Research Associate
 \, National Museum of Natural History\, Smithsonian Institution will visit
  the Haffenreffer Museum.  The analysis of knowledge possessed by indigeno
 us people of plants\, animals\, insects\, birds\, and so on--of 'nature kn
 owledge'-- is of long standing interest in anthropology. Far more rare is 
 the analysis of the knowledge of the same or similar domains among people 
 in the West for whom science is the default model for explanation of the e
 nvironment or nature. In a seminar that plumbed nature and culture by focu
 sing mainly on native people and birds\, Brown students undertook brief re
 search projects on conceptual and perceptual knowledge of birds possessed 
 by their peers\, other undergraduates. Some results are discussed here: th
 e numbers of birds known\, their names\, their associations\, and the iden
 tification of images of common birds and their taxonomies. A folk ornithol
 ogy emerges that speaks on the one hand to the knowledge of one slice of n
 ature by undergraduates\, and on the other to its comparison to similar kn
 owledge possessed by indigenous people.\n\nStart time: 5:30 p.m.
