Interests: Urban anthropology, charismatic
movements, human sexuality, family systems,
complex societies; China, Inner Mongolia.
I am a relentless field ethnographer who
is currently working on a variety of projects
that range from doing a restudy of Hohhot, the
capital of the Inner Mongolian Autonomous
region, People's Republic of China, to writing
an ethnography of a specific Mormon polygamous
community. I am also conducting research for a
book tentatively titled A Case for
Emotional Monogamy. It is my
contention that we Homo sapiens are not
sexually monogamous as a species as much as we
are emotionally monogamous. The book explores
the implications of this issue for
understanding human sexual behavior.
