Doctoral students on interviewing cross culturally. o UAF, through the Center for Alaska Native Health Research, presented a two-day Forced
Acculturation Roundtable featuring Drs. Karina Walters, Edison Trickett, Dina Birman, Beti Thompson, and Bonnie Duran. Sessions included: Forced acculturation and historical trauma: Implications for health and health
research. Diseases of development and unplanned social change: Relationship to health
outcomes and designing prevention. Forced acculturation, identity and trauma: The refugee case. Community Based Participatory Research as a perspective for community
empowerment. o A series of UAF President’s Professor Seminars were presented through C.A.N.H.R.,
