April 2 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Michael F. Brown
President Emeritus
School for Advanced Research (SAR)
The School for Advanced Research, founded in 1907 as a national center for archaeological research, has changed its name twice as its mission and ambitions have changed with the times. In this illustrated talk, Michael F. Brown (SAR President, 2014-2024) reviews SAR’s colorful history and its role in responsibly stewarding Native American art of the Southwest and promoting innovative research in anthropology and other social sciences.
Michael F. Brown, Ph.D., is President Emeritus of SAR. With degrees from Princeton and the University of Michigan, Brown served on the faculty of Williams College for 34 years prior to his appointment at SAR. In addition to publishing numerous articles in academic and trade publications, he is the author of six books, including Who Owns Native Culture? and Upriver: The Turbulent Life and Times of an Amazonian People, both published by Harvard University Press.
