[edit] Short Bio
I am a complexity researcher (SFI external faculty) and ethno-sociologist, or social anthropologist with broad sociological as well as comparative and ethnographic interests in human societies and global historical processes. My PhD in Anthropology with a subfield in sociological theory was done with advisor E. Adamson Hoebel, University of Minnesota, although largely through the CIC Traveling Scholars Program that allowed transfer of seminar credits from the University of Michigan, Columbia, and Northwestern. My High School education involved an immersion school-year in Madrid living with two Spanish families. My BA involved two quarters of transfer credits for ethnographic fieldwork under supervision at the University of Veracruz in Jalapa, Mexico. My graduate work focused on Mathematical Anthropology, Mathematical Psychology, and Mathematical Sociology. For a thesis in Math Anthro I used a detailed multilevel comparative complexity sciences approach to studying intrasocietal and intersociety networks in a continuous-region of 90 adjoining societies with high variation in social organization. I tested the hypothesis that cross-cutting (cohesive v. segmentary) network integration in each of several forms would all be predicted by high cooperativity in productive economic tasks (see my page on my extension of Louis Guttman's Radex theory of complex interactions). The hypothesis worked, and formed a basis for further work on social networks as a general theoretical approach to social organization and sociopolitical as well as economic institutions. My studies in Math Psych as U Michigan provided training with Frank Harary in network and graph theory, with Louis Guttman in multidimensional and discrete-structure scaling, and with Clyde Coombs in unfolding theory and math modelling of diversity in preferences. Studies with Paul Lazarsfeld, Neil Henry, and others at Columbia at the Bureau of Applied Social Research provided training in a large array of topics in Mathematical and Applied Sociology.
