Dr. Gwyneira Isaac

Dr. Isaac’s research investigates knowledge systems and the relationships societies develop with their past, especially as to how this is expressed through material culture and museums. Central to this study is her fieldwork and ethnography of a tribal museum in the Pueblo of Zuni, New Mexico where she examined the difficulties faced by Zunis operating between Zuni and Euro-American approaches to knowledge.

Dr Franz Goller

"Inspired by an early love for natural history, I have studied animal behavior and its underlying mechanisms from an integrative organismal, ecological and evolutionary perspective. My current main focus is on sound communication in tetrapods, but my interests range broadly and include thermal behavior and ecology and the evolution of physiological systems and their integration."

Many thanks to Dr. Goller for generously sharing of his time, research, and lab!
