About Me:: I am a cultural anthropologist with a specialization in business and organizational applied anthropology. After 25 years in the private sector, as a consultant and entrepreneur, I have moved to academe and find myself in a very interesting position working with engineers on cultural issues, both in education and research. It's lots of fun. My researchis both applied, in the design of global engineering systems, as well as basic with a NSF grant to study the diffusion of innovation in the global networked enterprise.

Area(s) of Training: anthropology, applied anthropology, cultural anthropology, ethnography, other

Area(s) of Expertise: Global virtual teamings, global collaboration in product development, diffusion of innovation, social network analysis

Current Area of Employment: Research Professor, Department of Industrial Engineering, Wayne State University

My visceral sensors tell me that somehow we should remain to be connected, although in the past few months I had to wrestle with some dragons, not the least of which was serving as a juror in a serial murder case, starting with jury selection on February 9th with the trial ending April 22nd.

We had always had a "global" system within which we traded and mutually benefited, whether our world was just beyond the horizon of our villages, the larger shores of the Mediterranean or the entire world. I tend to believe that what we are now learning is that the forces of globalism also amplify the virus of inherently faulty social/societal designs and ill-conceived methods of dealing with each other as they amplify the most noble characteristics inherent in our species.

I sometimes reflect upon what contributions I can leave behind to merit having passed through the stretch of time I was granted.

My very best to you, Julia
Eberhard

It is interesting that you came from the anthropology side and connected with the organizational/engineering mindsets. I came from the other direction, and here we meet. Had to write to you because very often we pick up pollen as we travel on our path that fertilizes the places we wind up at.

My best
