Some of the most famous anthropologists are women: Margaret Mead, Mary Leakey, Alice Roberts, and Jane Goodall, to name a few. Even in times when men were typically leaders in the field, women still made a name for themselves and continue to do so now. During Women’s History Month, the Department of Anthropology at The University of New Mexico is honoring university women in Anthropology and hosting a series of talks.
Anthropology department administrator Jennifer George and graduate students Laura Steele and Stephanie Fox have compiled a Women’s History Month web page to highlight the women and events, working on behalf of the department s IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Anti-bias) committee. The UNM Anthropology department has a strong population of women as faculty, students, and alumni who have gone on to work in the field and make significant contributions.
