***** ***** ***** *****

I joined Roosevelt as an assistant professor of Anthropology in 2001. I also serve as Coordinator of the International Studies Major. My teaching and research interests within socio-cultural anthropology focus on social, cultural, and political aspects of globalization and transnationalism. Since 1990 I have conducted ethnographic field research on transnational linkages between Guerrero, Mexico and Chicago, investigating the cultural mechanisms through which transnational communities are formed and maintained, political implications of Guerrero hometown organizations in Chicago and Mexican government programs for its citizens in the U.S., and consequences of such transnational phenomena for the nation-state.
