Originally from Croatia, Ann Edwards attended the University of Zagreb and the University of Belgrade. In the former Yugoslavia, Ann taught English Literature before moving to the United States in 1965. She studied anthropology and sociology at Brooklyn College and received her Masters degree in Anthropology from the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. Ann has been an Instructor of Anthropology at the University of New Orleans since 1981, and has taught courses in anthropology and sociology at Loyola University, Holy Cross College, and Delgado Community College. Ann has also taught anthropology with the University of New Orleans summer programs in Austria and Costa Rica. Ann has been working with international students for several years. She has created a course titled, "America as a Foreign Culture." This course helps international students integrate into mainstream American culture through interaction with American students who in turn learn about foreign cultures. Ann's areas of interest include research of ethnic groups, specifically Croatians from the Slavonian, Dalmatian, and Bosnian regions who first settled in the New Orleans area almost two centuries ago. Ann speaks several foreign languages including Croatian, Serbian, Russian, and German.
