Nemer E. Narchi (PhD, The University of Georgia, 2011) and Christine M. Beitl (PhD, The University of Georgia, 2012), along with 32 collaborators, analyze the interactions between human beings and the coastal-marine environment through 15 different chapters that highlight the important presence of multivocality in maritime policy and coastal rights to foster the inclusion of the knowledge, desires, and visions of local actors in development projects and research agendas.

Co-curated by Dr. Attila Gyucha, an international traveling exhibition, entitled First Kings of Europe will open at the end of the month at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago.

The University of Georgia recently hosted its inaugural Active Learning Summit to celebrate how the Active Learning Initiative is changing instruction across campus and explore ways to accelerate change in the future (UGA Today).

Thank you to all of our 2023 Anthropology Day participants who made this event possible! Anthropology Day is a day for anthropologists to celebrate our discipline while sharing it with the world around us. Attendees had the opportunity to learn about the latest research in anthropology through hands-on experience with different anthropological tools and interact with anthropologists to discuss the importance of this research in today's world.

Special thanks to:

From Dr. Brita Lorentzen and colleagues, "Severe multi-year drought coincident with Hittite collapse around 1198–1196 BC," addresses the potential of climate change to alter human history and has been featured in several news articles.
