The Ohio State Department of Anthropology's Annual Bourguignon Lecture series is named in part after the former Department Chair and Professor Erika Bourguignon. A lover of the arts, professor Bourguignon pioneered the field of psychological anthropology, created a weekly radio program on world music, and was the first chair of the council on academic excellence for women.
