About
After receiving a Bachelor’s of Journalism, (University of Missouri, 1984) I practiced journalism in Missouri and Oregon before earning my M.A. degree (Oregon State University, 1992) in applied anthropology and my Ph.D. (The University of Arizona, 1999) in cultural anthropology. I have conducted fieldwork in Italy, Micronesia, Oregon and Arizona. My articles have appeared in a range of scholarly publications, including Cultural Anthropology, American Ethnologist, American Anthropologist, Journal of Modern Italian Studies, Transforming Anthropology, and the Journal of Historical Sociology.
My scholarship has evolved into three connected research subjects: 1) cultural politics and critical population studies; 2) historical anthropology and social memory; and 3) ethnography and writing culture.
