Faculty Faces- Dr. Anne Goldberg
Even before graduate school and joining the Hendrix faculty, anthropology professor Dr. Anne Goldberg was training in her field. She just didn’t know it.
Goldberg, a Richmond, Va. native, went to a unique public high school for predominantly low-income, inner-city students. The program featured a college-preparatory curriculum that included non-Western literature and history, along with trips to the Barrier Islands to camp, to New York City to visit the United Nations, and to the Boston area to visit Ivy League colleges. It was successful. All of her classmates went to college.
“I was in the minority for most of my school experience in Richmond,” said Goldberg. “It was a really great experience and wonderful place to go.”
For college, she chose the College of William and Mary, a small public liberal arts institution in Virginia whose student body was more politically conservative.
It was a big switch from her high school experience, but both perspectives were instructive and influential, she said.
“In both experiences I was surrounded by people who were different than me,” she said. “In both, I had to learn how to relate successfully to different people, and I was happy and enjoyed that.”
After an introductory course in cultural anthropology, she found her field of study.
“My experience, in some ways, was why anthropology was a good fit for me,” said Goldberg, who had planned to be a physics major. “I had different interests, but anthropology could incorporate all of them.”
During the summer between her sophomore and junior years, Goldberg and her mother went on a camping trip, visiting national parks in the Southwest. The following summer, she worked for the National Park Service at Bandelier National Monument in New Mexico, north of Santa Fe, as a member of a backcountry archaeology survey team.
“I loved that job,” she said, noting how her job included hiking into remote parts, looking for cool archaeology, and recording it.
After graduating in 1991, Goldberg moved to Portland, Ore., with a group of college friends and worked first for a nonprofit environmental and consumer action group before moving to New Mexico to work on an archaeological survey team in Petroglyph National Monument.
After three and a half years working all over the Southwest for the National Park Service, she enrolled in graduate school at Arizona State University in Tempe.

This article presents some of the best options, and reviews how their online systems work.
Online Anthropology Degree – University of North TexasUNT offers two graduate online programs: a Master of Arts and a Master of Science in Applied Anthropology, both of which are 36 credit hours. UNT, which is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, offers more online courses than any other public school in the state of Texas.
The degree program is designed to take approximately three years, and courses are offered fully online via the university's distance learning platform, which uses Blackboard Vista 4.2. Courses and discussions are both synchronous (live) and asynchronous (archived), giving students a balance of scheduling flexibility with an added level of interactivity. Students can access readings, teleconferences, and special speakers over the online platform.
Each UNT student is assigned a faculty advisor who helps with scheduling issues, performs academic advising functions, and can assist with learning issues.
Students are required to visit UNT twice during the three year estimated degree program, once at the beginning for a two-day orientation, and once at graduation to present final practicum projects to the learning community.
