Student Awards

Alumni Award for Undergraduate Academic Achievement in Anthropology

Each spring, the School of Human Evolution and Social Change awards this honor to a graduating student who best exemplifies academic excellence during the past calendar year. This award is directed towards a person who exhibits high academic achievement in anthropology courses and displays important related interests. 

Cynthia Lakin Award

Established by the parents of Cynthia Lakin, an undergraduate major in anthropology, in her memory, this award is given to graduating seniors who have majored in anthropology. The primary purpose of the award is to recognize the recipient’s sustained contribution to anthropology at Arizona State University’s Tempe campus. It is not limited to persons with high academic achievement. Students in good academic standing who participate in the Undergraduate Anthropology Association, volunteer for research with anthropology faculty, participate in field schools or execute independent research and projects related to anthropology are examples of candidates for this award. We urge the faculty, graduate students and undergraduates to bring such persons to our attention and nominate them for this award. The Undergraduate Committee decides on the recipient after all nominations are received.

Each department and school within The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences selects one outstanding student who has demonstrated a steadfast commitment to academic excellence during their time at ASU. These students are awarded a prestigious Dean’s Medal during convocation ceremonies in honor of their scholastic achievements.

Each semester, the school grants research awards to select undergraduate students in its majors to support individual research projects. The application process is competitive and selected students are awarded a stipend for 9 hours of supervised study each week (of the semester that they have been awarded) to carry out their own research.

Brittany Hale

Major: Double major in global health and justice studies

Research interests: Hale became interested in mental health and social stigma within a health context after working with doctoral student Ashley Hagaman on her research on suicide surveillance in Nepal. Hale’s honors thesis looked at better understanding student experiences and impacts in global health study abroad, and she is interested in both improved and standardized evaluations of these programs.

Accomplishments: Hale received a Killam Fellowship through Fulbright Canada and was able to study abroad in Toronto during fall 2017, where she learned about the Canadian health system and international development.

What’s next: Hale is currently applying for public health fellowships and internships, and she hopes to spend a year working and learning in the health sector before going to graduate school.

Cynthia Lakin Award

Kari Guilbault

Major: Anthropology

Research interests: Guilbault studies the connections between biology and culture as seen through human osteology. Specifically, she is interested in quality of life and violence as evidence of inequality, as well as morphological variation, body modification and funerary practices.

Accomplishments: Guilbault has worked collaboratively with school faculty and students as a research apprentice in the Bioarchaeology of Nubia Expedition Laboratory and the Archaeological Chemistry Laboratory. She also assisted with research projects around the development of children's altruistic preferences and how the sella turcica (the part of the skull that holds the pituitary gland) anatomy compares and relates to life history in different mammals.

What’s next: Guilbault plans to begin graduate school in 2019. During her time off from formal academics, she will be attending the Blackfriary Archaeology Field School in Ireland to take part in an intensive bioarchaeology course. She has also been invited to join the Bioarchaeology of Nubia Expedition team for the 2018 field season.

College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Dean’s Medal, Spring 2018

Jessica Roberson

Major: Double major in anthropology and English literature

Research interests: Roberson is interested in applied anthropology. Specifically, she focuses on communication and expressions of meaning, memory and resistance in marginalized communities, as well as the processes by which communities construct narratives about their place in the world.

What’s next: After graduation, Roberson plans to participate in the Teach for America program in Alabama, where she will teach secondary English and pursue a master’s degree in secondary education.

Reynold Ruppé Prize in Archaeology

Sofía Pacheco-Forés

Program: Anthropology PhD candidate, bioarchaeology approach

Research interests: Pacheco-Forés uses biogeochemical and biodistance methods to investigate identity-based violence in pre-Hispanic Mesoamerica. More broadly, she is interested in past mobility and migration, ritual violence, and if and how perceptions of social difference may predispose people to violence.

Accomplishments: Pacheco-Forés is proudest of the fact that she has mentored 14 undergraduate students through the course of doing her own dissertation research, and that many of those students have gone on to pursue their own research interests in anthropology and the life sciences.

What’s next: Pacheco-Forés is currently writing her dissertation and plans to apply for postdoctoral positions to continue her research.

Reynold Ruppé Prize in Archaeology Honorable Mention

Sarah Klassen

Program: Anthropology PhD, archaeology approach

Research interests: Klassen’s interests include geographic information systems analyses, water management, adaptive capacity and resilience in medieval Southeast Asia.

Accomplishments: Klassen’s research projects have successfully garnered national funding, including a National Science Foundation Dissertation Improvement Grant and an Endeavour Fellowship from the government of Australia.

What’s next: This fall, Klassen will be a Mellon Fellow in Urban Landscape Studies at Dumbarton Oaks in Washington, D.C. In January 2019, she will begin a two-year Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.

Philip Mason Thompson Award

Melissa Beresford

Program: Anthropology PhD candidate, sociocultural approach

Research interests: Beresford studies the ways people adapt to structures of power and inequality in economic systems. She is interested in questions such as how people understand the economy and their role in it, and how diverse economic practices allow people to secure fundamental resources and strive for social change.

Accomplishments: Beresford believes that completing her dissertation research and finishing up her dissertation has been her biggest academic accomplishment. Her research, based in Cape Town, South Africa, examines how South African entrepreneurs are attempting to develop new economic realities in the wake of the country's post-apartheid economic transformation.

What’s next: During Beresford’s fieldwork, Cape Town experienced one of the most severe droughts the city has seen in over 100 years. As a result, a host of new “water entrepreneurs” emerged, some working on water-saving technology and others developing water delivery businesses. Beresford is developing her next research project, which will ethnographically examine these new, market-driven resource approaches.

Donald H. Morris Award for Outstanding Doctoral Student, Bioarchaeology

Emily Sharp

Program: Anthropology PhD candidate, bioarchaeology approach

Research interests: Sharp analyses skeletal trauma to understand how violence is produced, perpetuated and ultimately becomes a culturally sanctioned behavior in human groups. Her regional focus is on non-state societies that lived 1,000 – 1,900 years ago in the Andes.

Accomplishments: In 2017, Sharp co-directed archaeological excavations at a site in highland Peru as part of the Proyecto de Investigación Arqueología de Jecosh. The project formed out of a collaborative partnership with Elizabeth Grávalos from the University of Illinois Chicago and Peruvian archaeologist Denisse Herrera Rondan, and Sharp’s responsibility was to direct excavations in and around tombs at the site.

What’s next: This summer, Sharp and the research team will present a museum exhibit of their work at the Museo Arqueológico de Ancash in Huaraz, Peru. Her long-term plans include continuing her research in Peru and writing her dissertation.

Donald H. Morris Award for Outstanding Doctoral Student, Evolutionary Anthropology

Joel Bray

Program: Anthropology PhD candidate, evolutionary approach

Research interests: Bray studies social relationships among male chimpanzees. He is particularly interested in how early social experiences during infancy and juvenility — a period in which mothers exert substantial influence over an offspring's social opportunities — affect adult social behavior and fitness.

Accomplishments: Bray considers his continuing perseverance throughout graduate school to be his greatest accomplishment.

What’s next: Bray is currently finishing up a year of fieldwork in Gombe National Park, Tanzania. For the next two years, he will be analyzing data and writing his dissertation.

Alumni Award for Undergraduate Academic Achievement in Anthropology

Lea Gleason

Major: Anthropology, with a minor in biology

Research interests: Gleason is interested in gene-culture co-evolution and large-scale cooperation. She plans to investigate how cooperation “scales up,” especially in high-stakes scenarios like warfare. She is also interested in the evolution of post-traumatic stress disorder.

Inspiration to pursue her field: Gleason was inspired after listening to a guest lecture by School of Human Evolution and Social Change Assistant Professor Sarah Mathew, whose research examines humans’ ability to cooperate with millions of genetically unrelated individuals, and how that ability relates to the origins of morals, prosocial behavior, norms and large-scale warfare.

“I thought the entire topic was really interesting and had important implications. Additionally, with my military background, I saw a way to connect what I had already done to future ideas,” Gleason says.

Accomplishments: Due to her incredible work ethic and dedication to research, Gleason was singled out by the SHESC Undergraduate Committee as the graduating student who best exemplified academic excellence this year.

She was also selected for the NSF Fellowship because of her “demonstrated potential to contribute to strengthening the vitality of the U.S. science and engineering enterprise,” says Dean Evasius, NSF division director of graduate education.

In addition to assisting Mathews with her research, Gleason has worked extensively with various faculty, including Assistant Professor Chris Morehart in the Paleoethnobotany Lab recording the historical use of plants by the Maya, and with Professor Bill Kimbel in the Institute of Human Origins managing the digital archive.

She is also a research assistant on the projects of Dr. Hillary Lenfesty, Dr. Bailey House and Dr. Matt Zefferman.

What’s next: Gleason says the NSF grant and Alumni Award will help with her current and future financial constraints, allowing her more time to focus on her research, rather than worry about other distractions in her life.

“I am extremely grateful to have received these two awards and know they will help me tremendously as I progress through my career,” she says.

After graduation, Gleason plans to remain at Arizona State University for graduate school and work with Mathew, as well as SHESC Professor Robert Boyd. One day, she would like to become a professor.

College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Dean’s Medalist

Alexandra Norwood

Major: Double-major in anthropology and geology

Research interests: Norwood is interested in reconstructing paleoenvironments to understand the context of human evolution. 

Accomplishments: Norwood has won many previous awards, including two NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates and several from ASU institutions. During her undergraduate career, she’s done a variety of research on Mesoamerican archaeology, comparative urbanism, prehistoric Southwestern ceramics, oceanic nitrogen cycles and paleoecology. She also helped establish the “Ask an Anthropologist” resource while working at the ASU Institute of Human Origins. In her spare time, Norwood has served as a volunteer for the Arizona Museum of Natural History and the Pueblo Grande Museum, as an elementary school student mentor at the Tempe Public Library, and as the president of the Undergraduate Anthropology Association.

“I am probably most proud of the diversity and robustness of my research, as well as my work getting children and the public excited about science and mentoring the SHESC students who have come after me,” Norwood says.

What’s next: Norwood will go on to pursue her PhD in biological anthropology at another prestigious university.

Cynthia Lakin Award

Alexandra Norwood

Reynold Ruppé Prize in Archaeology

Grant Snitker

Program: Anthropology PhD candidate, archaeology approach

Research interests: Snitker researches prehistoric uses of controlled fire, settlement history and environmental change using methods such as geoarchaeology, archaeological survey, GIS modeling and landscape/fire ecology. He is currently working in Valencia, Spain to investigate early farming communities’ origins, evolution and agricultural use of fire.

Accomplishments: Snitker’s recent work, “Identifying Natural and Anthropogenic Prehistoric Fire Regimes through Simulated Charcoal Proxy Records,” was named the year’s best paper in archaeology authored by an ASU graduate student. In the past, archaeologists’ ability to study how past peoples managed landscapes with fire was limited by the scanty record of tiny charcoal particles. Snitker solved the problem by developing a computer model, CharRec, which allows researchers to generate expectations for different fire-use scenarios that they can compare to observable data.

What’s next: After graduation, Snitker will continue his research on man-made fire and landscape change though either academic or governmental employment.

Phillip Mason Thompson Award

Ryan Bleam

Program: Anthropology PhD candidate, sociocultural approach

Research interests: Bleam studies “sense of place” and other aspects of the human-environment relationship.

Accomplishments: Bleam was awarded as the year’s most exceptional graduate student in sociocultural anthropology. His dissertation work is a partnership with the local McDowell Sonoran Conservancy, an environmental nonprofit that manages Scottsdale’s McDowell Sonoran Preserve. The project explores how engagement in conservation volunteerism helps foster a sense of place for residents, particularly retirees. 

What’s next: Bleam’s goal is to continue in academia as a professor while also remaining engaged in community-focused research.

Donald H. Morris Award for Outstanding Doctoral Student in Bioarchaeology

Elise Alonzi

Program: Anthropology PhD candidate, bioarchaeology approach

Research interests: Alonzi uses isotopic analysis, or biogeochemistry, to study where ancient people lived and how they may have moved to new areas during their lifetimes.

Accomplishments: Alonzi was recognized as the year’s most outstanding graduate student in bioarchaeology. She is currently in Ireland on a Fulbright Student Research Award, where she is collecting samples for her dissertation, which investigates the mobility of monks and lay people who were buried in early- and late-medieval Irish monasteries. She will analyze around 100 individuals from five different sites that date from the ninth to 16th centuries. She is also working with Irish researchers to create a radiogenic strontium isotope baseline from Irish plant samples, which they will use to better understand human isotopic data. Read the ASU Now article on her work.

What’s next: Alonzi hopes to continue her research uncovering Irish history.

Donald H. Morris Award for Outstanding Doctoral Student in Evolutionary Anthropology

Ignacio Lazagabaster

Program: Anthropology PhD candidate, evolutionary anthropology approach

Research interests: Lazagabaster is interested in the paleoecological and paleoenvironmental reconstruction of fossil hominin sites.

Accomplishments: Lazagabaster was named the year’s most outstanding graduate student in evolutionary anthropology. His paper, “Inferring diet from dental morphology in terrestrial mammals,” was published in the journal Methods in Ecology and Evolution last November. He and his research team created a new method – the multidimensional multi-proxy dental morphology analysis – which can tell which one of eight different diet types a given mammal had based on the physical characteristics of its teeth. His work has applications for ecological, paleoecological and evolutionary research.

What’s next: Lazagabaster plans to remain in academia and apply for post-doctoral positions.
