Teaching Interests
In a small four-field anthropology department, Gillogly teaches Introduction to Anthropology, Introduction to Cultural Anthropology, Environmental Anthropology, Migration & Immigration, Livelihoods and Exchange, Anthropology of Language, & Anthropological Theory as well as Peoples of Southeast Asia and qualitative methods such as Participant-Observation, Text Analysis, and User Design. She has co-led two Study Abroad Tours to Southeast Asia. Many of these classes also fulfill requirements for that degree as well as for the concentration in Anthropology. She has taught lots of senior seminars for different majors, currently focusing on the Senior Seminar for Geography & Anthropology. Finally, she facilitates student research projects and involves students in local research on the changing landscape of Pike Creek; cooperative exchanges in the arts networks of Kenosha; oral history; and student use of the university web page.
