Attending the AAA conference

I'm excited about the AAA Annual Meeting this week. Actually, I've been excited about it since this spring, when I first learned that the conference is being held at the Wardman Park Marriott, just 10 minutes by bike from home on the GW campus.

I've circled more sessions in the abstract book than I could ever really attend. Jen Cardew (Synthesis of Thought) is presenting in a panel on "Issues in Applied Linguistic Anthropology" (Sat., 8am-11:45). Cardew, Kroskrity, Haviland, and even Alim!

I'll be sure to check that one out.

I delivered this presentation (.pdf) at the Anthropology Department’s Student Research Conference on October 26th.

Anthropology in Performance

This is the script of a play that I co-wrote with Michelle Gorman, Michaela Grillo, and Chris Bloechl, and which our Anthropology in Performance class staged in May, 2007. Professor Allen teaches the course. I’m really proud of what we accomplished.
