I am fascinated by people's moral and aesthetic evaluations: their talk and other expressions concerning what they esteem or despise in human subjectivity and action. In my research and writing I address how social life shapes individuals' moralities and understandings of selfhood, and in turn how individuals interacting with each other create social life and reproduce and transform these moralities and understandings of selfhood. I have carried out ethnographic fieldwork among People of the Center (Colombian Amazon) since 1993 (I was still an undergrad at the time!), mainly with Muinane-speaking clans.

In recent years I have taught the following courses in the Department of Anthropology's undergraduate program: Introduction to Anthropology, The Anthropology of Language, The Anthropology of Personhood, Ethnographic Fieldwork Methods, and The Ethnography of Amazonia. These courses are usually challenging but friendly, in that they facilitate students' access to knowledge. I find their subject matter to be delicious material to think and talk about, and furthermore to be an absolutely worthwhile-in some cases, essential-component of a liberal arts education.
