Elijah Edelman, a first-year AU doctoral student in public anthropology who is helping to organize a conference discussion regarding transgender issues on campus, echoes Johnson's sentiment.

''American's anthropology department, in general, is about making that which is typically stuck in the ivory tower of academia accessible,'' Edelman says. ''This conference is framed in that same paradigm. Everyone makes an effort to make sure the papers they present are accessible.''
