I am a cultural and applied anthropologist with over 30 years of
experience as a researcher, teacher, consultant, field training
director, project evaluator, project chief of party, and
administrator. My focal geographic area of interest is Latin
America. My special research interests include cultural ecology,
particularly adaptive strategies in indigenous societies, studies of
socioeconomic change and adaptation among small farmers and indigenous
peoples, and language and culture relationships. I am particularly
interested in the interrelationships among ecological systems, adaptive
strategies and human values. I have conducted most of my field research in collaboration with the indigenous Ngóbe people in the western provinces of the Republic of Panama. I have also worked in Mexico, Costa Rica, Honduras, Ecuador, Nepal (briefly) and the southern Sudan (for a year). |
