I
am a faculty member in the
Department of Pacific and Asian Studies at
the University of Victoria. My methods and perspective are grounded in anthropology but my research
is interdisciplinary, straddling fields as diverse as sociology, science
and technology studies, politics, religious studies, history, and Asian
studies
among other
fields. I teach courses on a variety of topics, including
globalization, religion, development, liberalism and neoliberalism, sovereignty and
the state, colonialism and post-colonialism, Islam, and Southeast
Asia. I hold Ph.D. and M.A. degrees in anthropology from the University
of California, Berkeley and a B.A. in anthropology from the University
of Chicago. |
