To commemorate, a number of his former students, colleagues and scholars influenced by him, have begun making plans to hold a celebration on the campus of U of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where White taught anthropology for 40 years. We envision two days of reminiscences as well as informal papers tracing White s influence on the field.
Preparations are at the preliminary stage.
