Student Contributors
Dr. Salinda Hess adopted Explorations: An Open Invitation to Biological Anthropology for ANTH 203: Culture and Biology at Concordia University in 2023. To reflect the ongoing changes and developments within the field of biological anthropology and to integrate Canadian perspectives, her syllabus included an open assignment titled “Group Participation in Open Pedagogy Textbook Project.” The resulting student chapter-level feedback from this interactive assignment led to revisions, updates, corrections, and/or added materials.
Lola Leus assisted Hess in reviewing, compiling, and making sense of the student assignments, and integrating the collective insights from the course into the textbook. She worked on showing the revisions in the adapted version and annotated second edition, and integrating their text into the third edition.
Adam Garcia played an editorial role and a technical Pressbooks role. He aided in selecting and editing insights from student assignments, checking citations, and integrating revisions in the customized text. Additionally, He worked on writing the sections of each chapter integrating insights from the ANTH-203 course into what is now the third edition.
