After a brief business meeting, Dr. Shelby Tisdale will her book "No Place for a Lady: The Life Story of Archaeologist Marjorie F. Lambert.". Dr Tisdale is the retired Director of the Center of SW Studies. A pre-meeting social will be held in the reception area at 6:30 p.m. Go to SJBAS.ORG for meeting information.   In the first half of the twentieth century, the canyons and mesas of the Southwest beckoned as the burgeoning field of archaeology was thriving. Among those who heeded the call, Marjorie Ferguson Lambert became one of only a handful of women who not only left their imprint on the study of southwestern archaeology and anthropology but flourished. Award-winning author, Dr. Shelby Tisdale, will take you on a thought-provoking journey into how Lambert created a successful and satisfying professional career and personal life in a place she loved (the American Southwest) while doing what she loved. Through Lambert's life story we gain new insight into the intricacies and politics involved in the development of archaeology and museums in New Mexico and the greater Southwest. We also learn about the obstacles that young women had to maneuver around in the early years of the development of southwest archaeology as a profession. Tisdale brings into focus one of the long-neglected voices of women in the intellectual history of anthropology and archaeology and highlights how gender roles played out in the past in determining the career paths of young women. Women's voices have long been absent throughout history, and Marjorie Lambert's story adds to the growing literature on feminist archaeology. Dr. Tisdale's new book No Place for a Lady: The Life Story of Marjorie F. Lambert will be available for purchase after her lecture.   Bio:   Shelby, retired Director of the Center of Southwest Studies at Fort Lewis College, has over forty years of combined experience in museum administration; anthropological, tribal museum and cultural resource management consulting; and university teaching. She is the former Director of the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture/Laboratory of Anthropology in Santa Fe, New Mexico and the Millicent Rogers Museum in Taos. She also served as the Vice President of Curatorial and Exhibitions at the Autry Museum of the American West in Los Angeles. Shelby received her Ph.D. in cultural anthropology from the University of Arizona in 1997. Her B.A. is from the University of Colorado-Boulder, where she studied anthropology and southwestern archaeology. Her M.A. is from the University of Washington, where she majored in social anthropology and museum studies. She currently calls Tucson, Arizona home.
