Celebrating Anna Kerttula's Contributions to Northern Research

Part of: Society for American Archaeology 84th Annual Meeting, Albuquerque, NM (2019)

This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Celebrating Anna Kerttula's Contributions to Northern Research," at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Dr. Anna Kerttula has served fifteen years as program officer for the NSF Arctic Social Science Program, and has had a transformative impact upon the northern research community and northern science and scholarship. Her encouragement of early career researchers, indigenous scholars and organizations, international and interdisciplinary initiatives, and cutting edge innovation has had lasting impact on the circumpolar north. This session takes her retirement from NSF as an opportunity to recognize and honor her work and contributions, and papers will reflect her impact upon early career professionals and long established researchers. We anticipate publication of selected papers in Arctic Anthropology.
