PODCAST INTERVIEWS
Check out my recent interview on the Podcast series The Mist: Drugs, Cults, and Cultures, with Nate John. In it I discuss how Aka foragers and Maasai agropastoralists utilize psychoactive substances as performance enhancers. Nate then draws comparisons with the use of "study drugs" (e.g. caffeine, amphetamines like Adderall) among university students. Check out these links: (iTunes) (Non-iTunes).
AWARDS
I was recently awarded the Leigh Minturn Memorial Award for Early Career Cross-Cultural Research by the Society for Cross-Cultural Research (SCCR). The SCCR is a multi-disciplinary organization devoted to cross-cultural and comparative research. Leigh Minturn was a long-term leader, and former president, of the SCCR, who passed away in 1999. The award is given in recognition of outstanding culture-related scholarly productivity and potential.
