Anna Olsen
The intersection of culture and ecology is a defining relationship in the world’s past, present and future. Anna’s interests lie in understanding and experiencing the embeddedness of such intersected fields of study and using it to interpret, understand and address current issues involving space, landscape and cultural evolution and how it can be sustained, maintained and improved. With a background in Archaeology, International Affairs (B.A. minor) and Biology (B.A. minor), Anna is applying her skill-set towards local efforts to maintain and adapt human behavior that honors both land, peoples and practices. She is advised by Dr. Gregory Zaro in the Department of Anthropology and has worked closely with both Dr. Daniel Sandweiss and Dr. Kreg Ettenger in both anthropological education and oral histories located in the Northern territories of the State of Maine.
