The SOLGA Mentor File is designed to offer an opportunity for professors, applied anthropologists, and students to provide leadership, academic advice, job opportunities, and inspiration to undergraduate students, graduate students, and others studying or applying gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgendered/queer anthropology. The SOLGA Mentor File was inspired by the Association for Feminist Anthropology Mentor File and includes information on education, areas of expertise, and major publications for each mentor.

The SOLGA Mentor File was created by Christa Craven. Inquiries about updates and additions should be directed to Ted Gideonse <tgideons@ucsd.edu>.

This publication is meant to be shared. Please alert students, faculty, peers, etc. to its existence.



The Society of Lesbian and Gay Anthropologists (SOLGA) of the American Anthropological Association was founded in 1988. SOLGA promotes communication, encourages research, develops teaching materials, and serves the interests of gay and lesbian anthropologists within the association.
