Bio
My fieldwork combines archival, ethnographic, and archaeological methods in the U.S. and Latin America. I am especially interested in how landscapes and material objects mediate human relationships and how shared cultural experiences affect our perceptions of time (past, present, future). Topically, my research has focused on death, disaster, sensuality, and histories of colonialism and capitalism. Also, pirates. I have written a couple of quite different books on New Orleans (one on its peculiar French colonial past and another on the city's relationship to old things, before and after Katrina). My current project, which takes the form of both a film (I Like Dirt) and a book (American Afterlives), focuses on rapidly changing death practices in the U.S., particularly around disposition and transformation of the body. The next project will be an exploration of deep future archives in the arctic and elsewhere. I believe that, at its best, intellectualism is the human spirit calling itself, and that academia is just one tent where this might happen. In my free time, I grow things, play fiddle, and bike. I am grateful for having received support from the MacArthur Foundation, the National Science Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the ACLS, among others. For access to publications and past archaeological reports, see my academia.edu page.
