Seeking Biological Anthropologists to Participate in Interviews on Anthropology & Changing Policy

Submitted 07/01/2026 by Anna Willow

Hello and Happy New Year!

I am an environmental anthropologist based at the Ohio State University. I recently launched an exploratory research project seeking to understand the immediate (and potentially long-term) impacts of federal, state, and institutional policy changes on anthropologists and their field of study.

I am seeking US-based anthropologists to participate in short, conversational online interviews over the next several months. Faculty, graduate students, lecturers, and those who work outside of academia are all welcome. Please reach out to me (do not reply to the listserv!) at willow.1@osu.edu if you are interested in talking about how recent changes in administration, policy, and the higher education landscape have impacted your work and your field of study. Interviews will be scheduled at your convenience and no identifying information will be shared.

Thanks in advance! I look forward to talking with some of you in the near future!
