Summer School event, 2024

Location: University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK

In July 2024, high school students joined Ashleigh Wiseman for the Palaeobiology: Evolution & Behaviour international summer school – a two week long event for international students. There were lectures and workshops teaching students about evolution, anatomy and behaviour, and also the chance for students to build their own musculoskeletal models and run basic biomechanical simulations!

London Anthropology Day, 2022
Location: British Museum, London, UK 

Thinking of doing an undergraduate or postgraduate degree? Not sure where to apply to? Then come along to London Anthropology Day at the British Museum on June 30th 2022 to hear about what different universities across the UK could offer you. I’ll be there representing University of Cambridge and will be leading a workshop called ‘Meet the Ancestors’, located in the Studio, British Museum. 

The workshop description: Why do humans look the way we do, and how did early human species differ? In this session we will explore differences in skull shape between humans and our early ancestors; and how each of these differences relate to how we move, what we eat and life history. 

This activity will be hands-on, and you will have the opportunity to examine casts of hominin skulls and learn about the major differences between each skull. We will discuss why we look the way we do and how differences in skull shape and dentition are related to what we eat and even our life history. 

There will also be an opportunity to look at digital 3D models of hominins and explore fossil movement. I will also be discussing my own career trajectory – so feel free to come along and ask many questions  

The day will run from 10.30am until 5.30pm, with the workshop from 2.30pm.
