Staff Transitions
Emilia Guevara
Emilia M Guevara recently transitioned from her role as the assistant to the director of publishing to the new position of AN digital editorial assistant. She’s been working closely with the AN opinion columnists on a limited basis since August 2011. This role is expanding to provide more extensive support for anthropology-news.org, including helping all regular contributors better utilize the site, uploading new contributions for online publication, developing the calendar, and helping answer AN–related questions. In her non-AN time, she’ll continue to support the AAA journals during editorial transitions and with annual deadlines. She also fields questions about permission requests.
Emilia began working at AAA in April 2010. She has an MA in cultural anthropology and her interests lie in the emergence of rituals and beliefs in Mesoamerica. Her thesis, entitled “Cultural Performance, Meaning and the Day of the Dead,” is based on fieldwork in Mexico City. She plans on pursing a PhD in sociocultural anthropology. Raised in Arlington, VA, she has also spent a considerable amount of time living and traveling in her parents’ home countries of Mexico and Venezuela and enjoys cooking their native cuisines. She is currently obsessed with recreating her grandmother’s hallaca, a type of savory tamale and a staple eaten during Venezuelan Christmas celebrations.
Emilia lives in Alexandria with her husband Kyle and their Jack Russell Terrier-Bichon Frise named Abby.
