Cultural anthropologist and Associate Professor in the Humanities, Social Sciences, and the Arts department at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology.
Much of my research and publications focus on addiction and recovery in Japan, including ethnographic fieldwork with Alcoholics Anonymous and the Drug Addiction Recovery Group in Tokyo. In addition to Japan, my research interests include Hawai‘i and Brazil as well as gender, particularly masculinity. I recently started a new ethnographic project in Tokyo that broadly considers how people conceptualize and create lives they find meaningful and purposeful. I attended the University of Washington as an undergraduate and received my Ph.D. from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa.
