In brief

I’ve done long term ethnographic research on the Basque language revival movement examining such issues as language standardization, youth community media projects, music, and the political uses of language censuses.

At the same time, I also teach and write about gender, sexuality and the body; the anthropology of Europe; ethnographic theory and method. I teach courses in the politics and poetics of visual anthropology and have started a digital ethnographic video lab.

I also direct the Modern European Studies Program, an interdisciplinary undergraduate minor, and the Anthropology Department's European Fieldstudies Program.
