What is iPAST?

iPAST is a cross-faculty research and education forum at UNSW which has been going since 2007. iPAST, or the 'integrative Palaeoecology and Anthropology Studies group' has members from four faculties (Arts and Social Sciences, Medicine, Science and Engineering) as well as from the UNSW Analytical Centre and UNSW Press. The forum meets 3-4 times per year to share knowledge and ideas about research and teaching-learning in the broad anthropological sciences and palaeoecology as it relates to humans and our relationships with the biosphere.
