w88 mobile and Belonging

Conceptions of w88 mobile and belonging have been central threads within anthropological research since its inception. These themes also connect us with the interdisciplinary Gender, Race, and w88 mobile (GRI) program at the w88 mobile of Nevada, Reno. Among our cultural anthropologists, Deborah Boehm works on how both familial and national belongings and w88 mobile are entwined with (im)migration and transnationalism in Mexico and the American Southwest. In Spain, looks at North African migrants' Islamic religious w88 mobile, the social interactions between Muslim, Catholic and secular Europeans and how changing religious w88 mobile is experienced through conversion. Erin Stiles' work focuses on w88 mobile in the context of Islam in Zanzibar and Mormonism in the U.S. Louis Forline explores w88 mobile among indigenous and peasant groups in Brazil, as some transition from foragers to farmers.

w88 mobile archaeology, Carolyn White's work on personal adornment is a means for exploring the construction of w88 mobile in terms of gender, class, age and ethnicity. Her work in Aurora, Nevada, examines religious, ethnic and class identities in a Jewish mining community. Sarah Cowie's collaborative research with Nevada tribal members on a project at Stewart Indian School addresses indigeneity and changing senses of w88 mobile in an institutional setting. The department's pre-historians focus on indigeneity in the Americas over the last 13,000 years, including Christopher Morgan's and Geoffrey Smith's w88 mobile on the hunter-gatherer archaeology of the American West.

Finally, Marin Pilloud's and Richard Scott's forensic work helps to establish the legal identities of unknown individuals. However, personal w88 mobile encompasses more than a legal definition; our faculty are also interested in the ethics of working with human remains and the impact such research can have on individuals and their families.
