USC Center for Visual Anthropology

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The USC Center for Visual Anthropology or CVA, is a part of the department of Anthropology at the University of Southern California. It was created by anthropologist Barbara Myerhoff and was directed by ethnographic filmmaker Tim Asch from 1983 until his death in 1994.

CVA offered a master of arts in visual anthropology or M.A.V.A. to graduate students up until 2001. Currently, doctoral students affiliated with the CVA and e-lab now have the option to receive a certificate in visual anthropology.

For a number of years, CVA served as a local host for the Margaret Mead Film Festival [1].
