Andrew Bauer is an Assistant Professor of Anthropology who joined the faculty at the University of Illinois in 2012. His research focuses on human-environment interactions and the politics of spaces, places, and landscape histories. Andrew has previously conducted fieldwork in Turkey, Iran, and the United States, but his primary field research is based in South India, where he directs a project investigating the relationships between environmental history and emergent social inequalities during the region’s Iron Age and Early Historic periods. In this lecture he will provide an overview of his research and discuss recent findings.

This event is organized by the Central Illinois Society of the Archaeological Institute of America and hosted by the Spurlock Museum.
