Message from Chair It is hard to believe that another semester has flown by. I know that I speak for many in our department in expressing my gratitude and thanks for everyone's hard work and contributions to our department. It is a team effort, and our passion for anthropology is the glue that binds and keeps us going through all those busy days. An overview of some of our student and faculty accomplishments follows. The scope is broad: awards, honors, scholarship and practice, media engagement and conference activities. I think you will agree that these accomplishments are impressive.

Judith Lynne Hanna gave a keynote, “Neuroscience Spotlights Dance: The Brain as Modern Dance Choreographer, Performer, and Spectator” at the “Engagement” symposium for the study of the philosophy of dance at Texas State University. Her synthesis of 21st century research revealing some of what has been hidden challenged armchair theorists and phenomenologists.

Judith Lynne Hanna, as an expert court witness (132nd case), prepared a declaration on the history and value of burlesque as an art form; the artistic, political and other messages conveyed by nudity, simulated nudity, touch of self or other, and simulated sexual behavior for Visual Arts Collective, LLC, et al. v. Colonel Ralph Powell, et al. in Boise, Idaho. A first-time enforcement of a 1974 Idaho law against a burlesque dancer threatened to close the community mixeduse contemporary fine art gallery and visual and performance art, film, music, and theater venue.

Judith Lynne Hanna addressed the Maryland Dance Education Association inaugural conference, Roots to Grow, Wings to Fly at Towson University. Her talk "Dance in the Learning Classroom: Why/ How to Use the Brain as Choreographer" also drew upon new dance-related neuroscience technologies and scientific advances synthesized in her book, Dancing to Learn: The Brain’s Cognition, Emotion, and Movement.

Tracy Jenkins, Mark Leone, Elizabeth Pruitt, Benjamin A. Skolnik, Amanda Tang, and Stefan Woehlke co-curated the Frederick Douglass and Wye House: Archaeology and African American Culture in Maryland exhibition, which is currently on display at the Hornbake Library Special Collections Gallery until July 2017. The archaeology of Wye House involves nine years of excavations examining slave quarters, the industries of the enslaved, the food of all its residents, and how an agricultural economy based on enslavement of African Americans made the plantation wealthy. This exhibition and the scientific research behind it focuses on how this work has been done collaboratively with the descendant communities, both black and white. It attempts to show how enslaved individuals made an independent culture. Thus, the violence that Frederick Douglass sought to end is now seen together with the production of Maryland culture, black and white, that archaeology finds. http://www.wyehousearchaeology.org/ Mark Leone, Benjamin Skolnik, and Elizabeth Pruitt’s research on African American religious artifacts, and new exhibit at Hornbake Library was discussed in the New York Times article entitled "Ezekiel’s Wheel Ties African Spiritual Traditions to Christianity.”
