Welcome New Staff
Chelsea Horton
Chelsea Horton joined AAA in September as a part-time assistant in the publishing department. She supports the director of publishing to help maintain the publishing webpages, update the organizational history of the publishing program, and ensure the publication archives of the association remain current. She began working at AAA in July 2012 on a contractual basis to provide support for a September workshop as well as launch the brand new Registry of Anthropological Data Wiki.
An Orlando, FL native, Chelsea completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Central Florida where she majored in anthropology with a minor in history and Asian studies. During her undergraduate work, she studied in both England and Japan in addition to working as a research assistant within the university. Upon graduation, she moved to Alexandria, VA where she completed a master’s degree in cultural anthropology at George Mason University. Her graduate thesis explored linguistic conventions in Japanese popular culture and sought to further expand understanding of the Japanese language beyond the traditional notion of politeness.
Though she is a recent graduate, Chelsea is considering doctoral programs in anthropology to study Southeast Asia. Her non-AAA time is occupied working another part-time job, playing video games, writing short snippets of fiction, struggling to learn how to sew, and reading anything she can get her hands on.
