Previous recipients of this honor include Frederik Barth (1988), David Harvey
(1989), Veena Das (1995), Sherry Ortner (2001), Doreen Massey (2003) John and Jean
Comaroff (2007) and Ulf Hannerz (2010) among a slew of others.

In April 2013 Paul Stoller is won the prestigious Anders Retzius gold medal for "a
scholar they believe has made a significant scientific contribution to
anthropology.particularly noteworthy because his work is somewhat outside the
mainstream of anthropology. His response to the official notification was rather
typical of his well-known humility and consistent optimism in the discipline. He
said, "The notification came as a complete shock.""

Anthropologist Gina Athena Ulysse writes "Stoller remains one of the discipline's
biggest advocates. It's not surprising then that his advice to new anthropology
majors is so deeply grounded in the stuff of human relations. He suggests: 'open
your being to experience--as challenging and frightful as that may be--and let that
experience guide you in a direction that makes you feel comfortable in your skin. .
