Welcome to my faculty directory page! I started teaching anthropology at Columbia College in 2017. Anthropology is an ideal subject for those interested in learning and thinking more about the past, present, and future of humankind. My own research interests include: the management, ownership, and protection of cultural heritage, the political uses of the past, and the anthropology of heritage.

Courses taught (varies by semester):

Anthropology 1, Biological Anthropology
Anthropology 2, Cultural Anthropology
Anthropology 10, Archaeology

Open-access textbook for Anthropology 2, Cultural Anthropology: Perspectives: An Open Invitation to Cultural Anthropology (second edition)
