Spotlight on our Department's Newest Faculty Members
Penn State's Anthropology Department is happy to welcome four new faculty members in the 2008-09 academic year. David Carballo (Lecturer), Nathan Craig (Assistant Professor), and Carrie Hritz (Assistant Professor), will be contributing to our Complex Societies research area, and Tim Ryan (Assistant Professor), will be involved primarily with our Evolutionary Biology research group. These scholars share a commitment to integrative research in anthropology, and the thoughtful incorporation of new imaging and spatial analysis technologies in the illumination of human evolution and human societies.
