Department of Anthropology

In the 72 year history of the Department of Anthropology at UAF, our faculty have included important figures in the field at regional, national, and international scales. Collectively, they have produced monographs and articles that have illuminated many aspects of northern Anthropology. This list of full-time faculty provides a glimpse of this diversity, and does not include numerous visiting faculty who have worked for the department.
