About me:
I am an assistant professor of anthropology at UM-St. Louis.
I
studied anthropology at the Australian National University, and have
conducted research in urban Australia and in the Middle East.
My current research focuses on Arabic grammar instruction in the
Middle East. I am particularly interested in cognition, knowledge
and scholarship as culturally and socially embedded processes.
Otherwise, my
research has dealt with such themes as kinship, gender and
sexuality, again with a strong emphasis on cognition, and with such
issues as epistemology, methodology and the ontology of social
sciences. These themes are also central components of my teaching.

New on the site?
