Panelists Sonya Atalay, Assistant Professor of Anthropology, and Lisa Wexler, Assistant Professor of Public Health, will lead a discussion on some of the most innovative experiments in participatory and collaborative research occurring in Native, First Nations, Maori, and Aboriginal contexts, drawing on their own experiences working as a tribal research partner with Alaskan Natives on resilience and suicide prevention (Wexler), and using community based participatory research as an approach in archaeology in the Near East and North America (Atalay). All are welcome.  Refreshments will be served.
