Dr. Cerisa Reynolds is a Professor of Anthropology at Aims Community College. Her anthropological work has focused mostly upon zooarchaeology and the ways in which past peoples interacted with their environments, procured and processed their food, and participated in local and national economies. Over the past decade, much of her scholarship has focused upon education, and she finds immense joy in working with colleagues and students to create learning environments that foster critical thinking, deep learning, and meaningful exchanges of knowledge. Topics she is most passionate about in the classroom include applied and engaged anthropologies, ethical issues in anthropology, structural inequities of the past and present, sex and gender, the evolution of human skin, and the anthropology of food.
