Venue description

The Anthropology Department at Portland State University was established in 1959 as a four field Anthropology department with Oregon's only free-standing master's program. Since then, anthropologists at Portland State University have compiled a long record of research, teaching and community involvement. Among its distinguished former faculty was Wayne Suttles, the premier 20th century ethnographer and linguist of the Northwest Coast. Currently, the Department has faculty in Sociocultural Anthropology, Archaeology, and Biological Anthropology. The Department's emphases that cross-cut the sub disciplines are Applied Anthropology and Environmental Anthropology. The programs and faculty research take advantage of the university's location in Portland, Oregon, the Pacific Northwest and on the eastern edge of the Pacific basin.
