    Teaching Interests

    I am prepared to teach courses at any level in the specializations mentioned above.  I am also prepared to teach courses in anthropological research and writing.  I have taught anthropology courses at all levels from Introduction to Anthropology to advanced doctoral courses, and I am a prolific trainer of PhDs, averaging, as the Primary Advisor, two completed doctorates per three years since 2000.  I have also mentored postdoctoral researchers as part of larger research teams in both Ireland and Africa. Finally, I have extensive experience in presenting anthropological concepts to non-anthropologists, whether on outreach courses to non-traditional students, to Faculty of Science students, or to medical students in both Europe and North America.
