About
myself
|
|
|
|
|
|
| I am
a Norwegian anthropologist based at the Institute
of anthropology, University of
Copenhagen, in Denmark. |
|
| I have done anthropological
fieldwork in the former Soviet
Union (Leningrad 1978, 1983) and the United
States (San Francisco 1989-90). |
|
| I have taught and supervised
students for the last twenty years, at the Universities of Oslo and
Tromsø (Norway) and the Institute of Anthropology in Copenhagen, where
I today lead the East / Central
Europe Research Group. |
|
| I have written about
Russia and the Soviet Union, about the United States and Europe, and
about theory in anthropology and social science; I have worked in journalistic
and literary, as well as academic genres. I have recently authored
a textbook on fieldwork methods, co-edited a volume
on trends in theory-building, and co-authored a textbook
on the history of anthropology. |
|
|
| I offer a selection
of courses on "cultural understanding and intercultural communication"
to businesses, schools, NGO’s and other institutions that deal with
practical problems of culture contact on a daily basis. |
|
| With my wife and colleague,
Kari Helene Partapuoli,
I edit AnthroBase.com,
a multilingual, searchable database of anthropological texts. |
