Please join us in welcoming SUAC’s new Academic Curator, Dr. Amber Lincoln! 🎉
Amber is a museum professional and cultural anthropologist with interests in material heritage and histories, museum studies, making and memory practices, human-animal relations, decolonizing museum practices and climate anthropology. She has worked collaboratively with Native American, First Nations and Indigenous Arctic communities in Alaska, Nunavut, Sápmi (northern Scandinavia), California, and Siberia. Informed by teachings from Indigenous partners, Amber has prioritized collaborative research and exhibition projects that explore how Indigenous Peoples use their material practices and cultural heritage to address challenges arising from rapid social, environmental and economic changes. These interests have taken shape in exhibitions and projects while working at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, the British Museum, and the National Museum of the American Indian and in a variety of publications, including the book, Arctic: Culture and Climate (2020).
