"June Anderson has been a staff member of the Anthropology Dept. since 1983 and is currently the Supervisor of the museum's Traditional Arts Program. Specializing in urban ethnography, June conducts research and fieldwork within ethnic neighbourhoods of the Bay Area, primarily documenting the contemporary folk art traditions of the many immigrant and Native American groups in our community. Her main area of study is material culture, in particular ethnic textiles, and she has published several books on traditional artists, including studies of Turkish weaving, an African American woodcarver, and a Hmong textile artist. In addition to local projects, June has documented weaving traditions in the Highlands of Guatemala and Ecuador, has spent five years documenting carpet-weaving in remote villages of Turkey, and has conducted fieldwork with Aborigine communities in northern Australia relevant to cultural tourism. Her current projects are studying the annual Moloka'i Ka Hula Piko Festival on the island of Moloka'i, Hawaii and documenting the annual gatherings and celebrations of California Indians."
