The Haffenreffer Museum of Anthropology is pleased to welcome six Faculty Fellows who will be using the museum's collections to support the development of courses and course components for 2015-2016.  The Haffenreffer Faculty Fellows Program provides recipients with a $1,000 award that may be used either for supplemental salary or course development expenses.

This year’s recipients are Sheila Bond (History of Art and Architecture), Linford Fischer (History), Jessaca Leinaweaver (Anthropology), Courtney Martin (History of Art and Architecture), Andrew Scherer (Anthropology), and Parker Van Valkenberg (Anthropology).

The Haffenreffer Museum’s collections include objects from every area of the world, with particular strengths in historic and prehistoric North, Middle, and South America, Africa, and South Asia. The Haffenreffer’s exhibition spaces and its CultureLab, both in Manning Hall, are convenient for teaching purposes that might include class visits, student research projects, work on exhibitions, or other assignments.Current users include faculty and students from Anthropology, History, the Joukowsky Institute, American Studies, and Ethnic Studies. We encourage faculty from all disciplines to consider adding a material culture component to their teaching.

We are happy to welcome these new Faculty Fellows to the Haffenreffer Museum of Anthropology community, and look forward to collaborating with them throughout the year.
