Friends of History Wednesday Lecture Series

Please join Michael F. Brown, President Emeritus, School for Advanced Research, for an ON-LINE ONLY talk as part of our Friends of History Lecture Series.

The School for Advanced Research (SAR), founded in 1907 as a national center for archaeological research, was revitalized in the early 1970s when it relocated to its present sixteen-acre campus on Santa Fe’s historic east side and expanded its programing. It has changed its name twice as its mission and ambitions have changed with the times. SAR’s advanced seminars and resident scholar program in anthropology and related social sciences are recognized worldwide, as is the quality of the Southwest Native American art collection housed in SAR’s Indian Arts Research Center (IARC). 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 the School for Advanced Research.  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.
