About
My research and teaching addresses the basic process of how people recognize, affect, and anticipate change. As an anthropologist I think that ethnography is an invaluable method for doing all of these things. To recognize, affect and anticipate change is to recognize the present and how it relates to the past, future, and various movements in-between.
My research has found that many people pragmatically apprehend change in terms of crisis and transition. My dissertation research "The Hope and Crisis of Pragmatic Transition: Politics, Law, Anthropology and South Korea" begins to examine the pragmatist foundations of transitional and crisis-like approaches to change. In particular, it demonstrates that hope in these urgent, yet routine crises and transitions often depends on scaling and re-scaling ideas, people, and agency. My primary research artifacts are hope, crisis and pragmatism.
Previous publications in the Political and Legal Anthropology Review and the Finnish Yearbook of International Law explore transparency and ethics, respectively, as artifacts.
