Current Research Interests

My ethnographic research has focused on the Amazigh people of the High Atlas Mountains, Morocco.  I think of myself as an economic anthropologist with a special interest in the dynamics of social inequality, particularly the ways in which it is manifest over time.  I have also written on anthropological fieldwork and autism, and I have a current project on the economics of drug dealing in suburbia.
