ACADEMIC INTERESTS
Teaching
My interests cover both Anthropology and History, and I have taught courses in both fields. I’m particularly interested in issues involving political economy. Being the sole full-time Anthropology professor on the Tri-Cities campus, I teach in each of the four Anthropological subfields, including Archeology, Cultural Anthropology, Linguistics, and Biological Anthropology. I love to interact with my students and show them how to live their lives to the fullest.
