Nancy Gonlin
Nancy Gonlin is a Professor of Anthropology at Bellevue College, Washington. She earned her PhD at The Pennsylvania State University with a specialization in Mesoamerican archaeology.
Nancy created a new field of study in archaeology called the archaeology of the night, a perspective that focuses on how ancient people navigated the night, the meaning of the night in times past, and how the human relationship to the night has changed dramatically over the centuries. She has published extensively on this topic in both academic and popular venues.
