Research Interests: Issues of identity construction, particularly as it has been and is used to both create and moderate social inequality, and the relationship between archaeology and local descendant communities of the present.
Research Interests: nationalism and national identity (with a particular focus on Latin American cases); sociology of religion; sociology of literature; Venezuelan politics and society
Research Interests: Environmental anthropology and historical anthropology as seen through the lens of field archaeology, historical archaeology of the Pacific Islands and North America, the archaeology of total institutions, cartographic techniques in archaeology, ethical issues in heritage management, public education and outreach.
Research Interests: My work focuses on the anthropology of emotion in a variety of geographical and historical contexts. From investigating practices of mourning and grief in Azerbaijan to analyzing the delight and terror of homeplace in Antebellum Virginia, I view emotion as a story -- a narrative told about self and society, as well as a discourse about interpersonal connections.
Research Interests: publications in archaeology, physical anthropology and cultural anthropology; primarily research primarily oriented to historic site archaeology.
