PERSONAL

Born 01 January 1970 Cleveland, Ohio U.S. Citizen

Married with three children (b. 2008, 2006, 2003)

ACADEMIC FIELD American Indian Studies (Cultural Anthropology): Indigenous natural resource management, cultural and environmental sustainability, and globalization.

CURRENT RESEARCH INTERESTS

2009-2013 My specialization lies at the interface of American Indian natural resource management, environmental sustainability, and globalization, and I am writing several articles and developing a book based on recent research with the Nez Perce Tribe about large dams, Pacific salmon, and the world-economy in the Columbia River Basin. I also sustain interests in expanding my research to include Southwestern watersheds and combining field sites in Russia, Canada, Norway, Tasmania, Chile, and the United States.

RESEARCH PERMIT

Present - 2004 Nez Perce Tribal Research Permit. Approved by The Nez Perce Tribe Tribal Council and Natural Resource SubCommittee, Lapwai, ID. Granted March 23, 2004.

FIELDWORK

Present (Summer 2011) Fieldwork for comparative research in the Kamchatka

Peninsula, Russian Far East: I aim to ascertain how indigenous people (e.g. Itelmen) respond to global development of local resources and cultural property, and how this human struggle may be related to certain keystone species facing the risk of possible extinction, such as Pacific salmon.

Present (Summer 2010) Fieldwork for comparative research in the Tana River Basin, Norway: I aim to ascertain how indigenous people (e.g. Sammi) respond to global development of local resources and cultural property, and how this human struggle may be related to certain keystone species facing the risk of possible extinction, such as Atlantic salmon.

Present (Summer 2009) Fieldwork for comparative research in the Columbia Basin, United States: I aim to ascertain how indigenous people (e.g. Nez Perce Tribe) respond to global development of local resources and cultural property, and how this human struggle may be related to certain keystone species facing the risk of possible extinction, such as Pacific salmon.
