Integrative Anthropological Sciences
I am interested in exploring the perceptions of gender inequality as well as the factors that lead to norm creation on gender inequality from the perspective of young men in Northwestern Tanzania; a rapidly developing rural/urban gradient.
Archaeology
I am a North American archaeologist, focusing on Culture Contact through the lenses of ethnogenesis and coalescence. Currently I have been researching Iroquoia, specifically examining the Mohawk during Contact and early Historic Period, focusing on the agency and identity of the Mohawk using color symbolism and pXRF analysis of historic glass beads at a late 17th century Mohawk village.

Archaeology
I am interested in assessing health over time in pre- and protohistoric Chumash populations through the analysis of skeletal remains. I am particularly interested in treponemal diseases, of which the origin, spread and movements are still unclear. My background is in forensic anthropology, neonatal osteology, bioarchaeology, and Channel Islands archaeology.

Archaeology
My research interests include the history of interaction between ancient Nubia and Egypt, the archaeology of alcohol consumption, and religious ritual and practice. I am interested in the way Nubian cosmology is made manifest in the archaeological record, specifically in regard to the development of materials designed for ritual purposes. Additionally, I am interested in the development and consumption of ancient Nubian beers, their movement across spaces, and their engagement with non-Nubian peoples through trade and social consumption.
Integrative Anthropological Sciences
- At UCSB I plan to work on maternal-fetal conflict as illustrated through fetal microchimerism, immunology, and placental biology.
- I have previously studied variation in gorilla skeletal morphology, specifically as related to locomotor differences that may be correlated with altitude.
