__NOEDITSECTION__
I am a recent graduate of [http://www.carleton.edu/ Carleton College], where I majored in Sociology/Anthropology with a concentration in Latin American Studies and a current student at the [http://www.uchicago.edu/ University of Chicago], where I am pursuing a master's degree in Latin American Studies.  I plan to enroll in a doctoral program in anthropology following the receipt of the M.A.  In anthropology and the social sciences in general, I'm very interested in Mesoamerica past and present and I have concentrated much of my course work on indigenous rights and images of indigeneity in North America. 
 
In other areas, I am very involved in the Boy Scouts - I started as a Tiger Cub 15 years ago and am now an adult leader.  I love to travel and have done so at every opportunity.  I also love to "find things" with my mother - we often go fossil hunting and take excursions to look for rocks, mushrooms, four leaf clovers, or anything else that one might find on (or in) the ground.
 
==Status==
In Chicago but still working out my arrangements.  Will be spending more time online as the school year gets underway.

==My Style==
I'm a cultural anthropologist with expertise in Latin America, particularly the Andean region of South America. I hold a PhD in anthropology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Master's degree in Latin American and Caribbean Studies from the University of Chicago. These days, I teach anthropology in the College of General Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.  
A guide to what others will have to deal with if they collaborate with me.
*My factual writing isn't all that I would like.  I can be very compelling when I push a thesis, but I tend to have trouble with making encyclopedic writing not-boring.
*I prefer books for my sources.  I find books easier to read than computer screens, so I tend to rely more heavily on printed resources.  In some cases, others will be compelled to find internet resources that accomplish the same things that my book provide. I encourage this.
*I like to have all of the details when I write or learn something. This means that my contributions might tend toward the long side, but I feel that nuance and detail adds to the quality and comprehensibility of learning resources.  This also means that I will probably be critical of others' work; I will try to be constructive in my criticism as much as possible.
