THE DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY PRESENTS OUR ALUMNI TALKS SERIES

World Building Through a Different Lens: A Thank You to Anthropology

This talk focuses on Lacey's journey from the completion of her master’s degree in Anthropology to her current role as World Designer for Warner Brother's Monolith Productions and how she has bridged the gap between her anthropological background and the creative industry.
