ABOUT
Ralph and Richard Lazarus Professor of Anthropology and Human Relations; and Relationship Coordinator (Director), The Dartmouth College-American University of Kuwait Program
I am fascinated by how religion coupled with changing ideas of education and both traditional and innovational means of communication and persuasion come together in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region to create new social forms. Another ongoing interest is the interplay between secrecy and publicity in religious movements, governments, universities, and everyday life.
