Ed Hagen

Ed Hagen received the WSU Vancouver Chancellor’s Award for Research Excellence for 2021-22. The award is given annually to a WSUV faculty member whose research quality and quantity are exemplary and whose work has had a positive influence on the broader community. It is WSU Vancouver’s highest research honor.

“Scholarship in anthropology is richer and deeper because of Ed Hagen. He is a leader in introducing mental health research into biological anthropology and directs WSU Vancouver’s Bioanthropology Lab. He focuses on topics that have been largely neglected by other biological anthropologists—the use of tobacco, cannabis and other drugs, depression and suicide—topics that can cause enormous harm to the health and well-being of many people.” Find out more.
