Personal Statement

I have been a practicing anthropologist for over 25 years and have researched and taught many courses and workshops about human relationships with the environment, rural livelihoods, food systems, and more. My research often focuses on contemporary individuals, communities, and organizations, but is framed by historical understanding of place and culture. I’m a 4th generation Oregonian born in Salem. I love Oregon and the PNW and have spent considerable time exploring and studying the region. I marvel at how quickly knowledge of the past becomes murky and thus greatly value the work of historians and their counterparts in other disciplines. I love interdisciplinary, collaborative projects and welcome emails to brainstorm how we might combine our skills and do some great work together.
