Initially, I planned to become a professor. I evolved to become an anthropologist with a career in advertising and marketing research and a Lecturer at Columbia Business School.

I became a member when I was a graduate student to attend annual meetings, present my work, and meet anthropologists from across the world. These meetings planted in me the seeds for my later work representing anthropology and anthropologists in organizations such as EASA, IUAES, WCAA, WAU, ISC, and CIPSH.

Dr Katherine Fernstrom’s research in the archaeology of art and material culture sits at the intersections of colonial, dominant, and oppressed cultures. Current research includes the position of murals on the North American landscape from earliest pre-contact to most recent Black Lives Matter (BLM) and Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) statements. Examination of the full assemblage of human artmaking behavior on the landscape opens discussion of both shared and contested spaces.

Hyang Jin Jung is Professor in the Department of Anthropology at Seoul National University, South Korea. She received her Ph.D. in 2001 in cultural anthropology from the University of Minnesota, U.S.A. Her research interests lie in the intersection among culture, self, and emotion, with U.S. and the two Koreas as her primary anthropological sites. Her ongoing research projects include the psychocultural underpinnings of the North Korean statehood and society, education and cultural psychology in South Korea, and the emotional culture of the postmodern American society. She is author of Learning to Be an Individual: Emotion and Person in an American Junior High School (Peter Lang, 2007).
