Professor & Director, Institute for Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies, Georgia State University

"I am AAA because women and girls everywhere deserve a say in peace negotiations and rebuilding their societies.”

"I am AAA, because anthropology and feminism were made for each other. As a feminist anthropologist, I love that I get to think about the things that are taken for granted.”

“I am an archaeologist because we can’t understand our present without understanding our past. I am AAA.”

"Archaeology's concerns, its subject matter, who it chooses to serve, are all changing. It is more important than ever that as archaeologists we recognize that we are anthropologists, we are AAA."

“I am a professor of anthropology, an archaeologist, Provost of the Washington State University (WSU) System, and Chancellor of the WSU Pullman campus. My archaeological training and the anthropologist's gaze inform my perspective and impact as an academic leader, whether that means an appreciation for the diversity of sciences, arts, and humanities at the university, in my awareness of the importance of cultural and historical context for the challenges facing higher education, or in my approach to understanding an institution's culture. Throughout my career, my scholarship has highlighted the impacts of contemporary commemorations and erasures of the past--why the past matters. I am AAA.”
