Fred Sellet

Where you know me from…

You will find me on the sixth floor of Fraser Hall. I am an Associate Professor in the Anthropology Department. My training is in anthropological archaeology, and I specialize in the study of some of the earliest sites in North America. You may also encounter me in my lab in Malott Hall, where I practice flintknapping (the art of making stone tools). I regularly teach “Becoming Human” which is a broad survey of human evolution as well as a class on prehistoric art, among many others. 

Pro-Tip for Success at KU... 

 My number one tip is to check and answer your emails. Good communication is a pathway to success. My second piece of advice is to take advantage of office hours. Not only do you get to meet with your professors one on one, but it gives them a chance to get to know you better. 

Currently Streaming…

I recently finished watching Ripley on Netflix. I loved the homage to the film noir era! As you guessed, I am a big sucker for historic dramas or anything that references the bygone age of classic film. So, I followed up by watching The Leopard, also on Netflix, which is a remake of a famous Visconti movie. I almost forgot I am a huge fan of Andor and started the second season!
