I completed my B.A. in anthropology from University of California, Santa Cruz in 1996 and finished my M.A. in anthropology from California State University, Sacramento in 1998. I hold a Ph.D. from the University of Arkansas in Environmental Dynamics (an interdisciplinary program involving anthropology and the geosciences), which I completed in 2001. From 2002 to 2004, I was a post-doctoral research associate at the Canadian Museum of Civilization. I started at San José State University in 2004.
In September 2023, I will begin my one-year faculty fellowship at the Center for Academic Pluralism through Heterodox Academy. And, I am a board member of the National Association of Scholars.
I am also the author, with attorney James W. Springer, of Repatriation and Erasing the Past (University of Florida Press, 2020), which takes a critical look at repatriation laws and the ideology behind these laws. My other books include Reading the Bones: Activity, Biology, and Culture (University Press of Florida, 2017) and Paleopathology in Perspective: Bone Health and Disease through Time (Rowman and Littlefield, 2014). Make sure to try the publishers’ discount codes as often they can save you 30% or more on the purchases.
