She founded and directed EMU’s Diversity in the Curriculum Program, and she is the Founding Chair of COER, the Commission on Ethnic Relations of the IUAES, the International Union of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences.
Since 2005 she is a Fellow of the International Institute for Humankind Studies (IIHS), and since 2010 she serves as Director of CRC, the IIHS affiliated Cross-Cultural Research Centre Net, a worldwide network of anthropologists.
