Maria Agafonova, a second-year Master's student at the Department of Anthropology, has received a grant from the Khamovniki Foundation for Social Research Support!

As part of her project, "A Mountain Pass on a Tourist Route: The Social Life of a Place Where Tourist, Economic, and Religious Practices Intersect," Maria will analyze and describe how the various participants involved in the life of the Chike-Taman pass interact with each other in the context of overlapping religious, tourist, and economic practices.

The project consists of two stages:
Stage 1. Fieldwork in the Ongudaysky District of the Altai Republic
Stage 2. Processing the field diary, transcribing and tagging interviews. Preparing a report summarizing the research findings and an analytical report.

We congratulate Maria and wish her a smooth implementation of the project!
