Director, The Center for Anthropology and Science Communications (CASC)
Merry Bruns, director of The Center for Anthropology and Science Communications, has been involved in anthropology communications since the mid 1980's. With her previous work in communications and her background as an archeology, she currently works as a Content Strategist for science web sites through her company, SciencceSites Communications. Her work with CASC serves to actively advance communication between science media and anthropologists. She's a member of the National Association of Science Writers (NASW), and has written and done research on communication problems between anthropologists and science media. She is currently writing a handbook for social scientists on working with media, to be published in 2010 by Left Coast Press. She gives annual AAA workshops and academic sessions on communicating anthropology, and hosts roundtables between anthropologists and local science media. She has done years of volunteer work with the American Anthropological Association's Press Dept. in both online and traditional media relations, and newsroom management. She is an MA candidate in Anthropology (Hunter College, NYC), with an emphasis on Historical Archeology, and British Prehistory. Her work is an examination of reporter/anthropologist relations, and is a first in its field for a study of this kind.
