The AAAs were exhausting in the best possible way. Held in Seattle this year, it was fertile ground for networking and working on new ideas. The CU happy hour at a brewery at Pike Place Market became the ultimate location to talk to alums (such as Dr. Allison Formanack) about research and dissertation writing, while also hanging out with some of the youngest members of the department (Finley – Anna and Ted Wynfield’s infant daughter). To say that I was socially hungover for a few days after AAAs would be an understatement, but it was truly an incredible experience. I was able to meet anthropologists whom I had never heard of before, but with whom I am now actively seeking to collaborate. The AAA conference was abuzz with ideas and connections and I found it completely reinvigorating. Can’t wait for next year in Toronto!

Also, seven CU students presented their research at the AAA ConferenceÌýin November, some for the very first time. Congratulations to Georgia Butcher, Katie Donlan, Jacob Jansen, Page McClean, Arielle Milkman, Sanggay Tashi, Anna Wynfield.
