Jun Sunseri, Anthropology
Faculty Award for Community Engaged Scholarship, 2015
Professor Sunseri’s collaborative research and teaching projects support native descendent communities disenfranchised by colonialism. In his projects in New Mexico and California, multiple under-served Indo-Hispano villages have identified him as a true collaborative research partner in their current struggles for self-determination, which include not only heritage revival and local school curriculum, but also federal recognition, and land and water rights cases. Through Jun’s Anthropology class and his research projects, undergraduate and graduate students are actively involved in this community-engaged approach to archaeology.
