Research Interests
My scholarly interests include museum studies, and urban and public anthropologies, focusing on questions relating to gender and kinship. I participate in ongoing research examining ethnographic and archaeological textiles from the United States, with particular interest in how material culture is used by individuals to create and reinforce gender roles. Recently, I have focused my energies on pedagogy and working with students and colleagues on Title IX-related research. Regardless of the subject, I enjoy collaborative efforts with an applied orientation.
