Profile Information
- Hometown:
- Lawrence, Kansas
- About Me:
- I am a cultural anthropologist with a specialty in medical anthropology. I have spent the last 15 years investigating cultural responses to disability issues. With the exception of my dissertation research, all of my work has been participatory/collaborative. I have worked extensively in Mexico (primarily Oaxaca), Native North America, and the U.S. as a whole. Currently, I am a research associate at the Institute for Human Development at the University of Missouri Kansas City. In the past few years I have become very interested in communities of practice and the promise they hold for enabling real dialog between the various stakeholders in the disability (and now anthropological) world.
