So, who am I? If Socrates was right, then that is a question that all of us either are or should be asking. For myself, I am an Anthropologist who teaches in the Institute of Interdisciplinary Studies at Carleton University (Ottawa, Canada). I am also a classically trained singer in the Ottawa Bach Choir, a “Anthropologists in [virtual] Residence” with Insignia Research, and an Associate Researcher at the Innovative Collaborations, Alliances and Networks Centre at UTS, Sydney.
As with many Anthropologists, I have a lot of different interests. A friend of mine once said that, in order to be an Anthropologist, you had to want to change the specifics of what you studied every couple of years while maintaining your “core”. I’m not sure if he was right or not, but it is certainly a pattern that I have fallen into.
