About Me

I am an historical anthropologist, sociocultural (and applied) anthropologist, and linguistic anthropologist.

I specialize in human stratification, drawing upon mixed methods that include archival research, oral-historical field research, ethnographic research, mixed methods, and discourse analysis.

My field sites have included: France (northern, 19th century), French Guiana, Haiti, and Tangier Island in the Chesapeake Bay (USA)
