After graduating magna cum laude in the Western Michigan University Honors College, I received strong theoretical training in the doctoral program in anthropology at the University of Michigan from 1986-89. I supported myself economically via graduate assistantships and working summers as an outreach worker and caseworker for the Michigan Migrant Legal Assistance Project (MMLAP). After three years and 49 graduate credits at U-M, I transferred to SUNY-Albany to receive training and mentoring specific to Mesoamerica. Three more years of assistantships, summer employment at MMLAP, and several internal grants financed my doctoral education at SUNY, which included 22 months of research in remote Ch’orti’-speaking hamlets in the mountains of eastern Guatemala. This research involved various aspects of activist anthropology. When I arrived to the area in 1990, a environmental degradation, changing rainfall patterns, a long history of ethnic discrimination, development paternalism and ineffectiveness, and national marginality had pressed all but a few Ch’orti’ activists to publicly deny their ethnic heritage. Representatives of the western Guatemalan Maya Movement arrived while I was there and began transforming the regional ethnopsychology dramatically. Long-repressed thorny topics such as ethnicity, gender, rural-urban animosity, and modernization vs. traditional subsistence culture were openly debated, and participants strived to learn more about their history. Once apathetic, cynical, self-deprecating, and fatalistic, many participants were now motivated, inspired, and proud. Ch’orti’ Maya Survival (2006) documents the long history of Ch’orti’ cultural transformation and identity dissolution, followed by the ethnodevelopment of the Movement, with all its promises and contradictions. Within days after the approval of my doctoral dissertation in 1995, I began my first contracted full-time lectureship, and for the next six years I was fortunate to gain two full-time oneyear positions at Western Michigan and Central Connecticut State, a two-year position at Grinnell College, and a renewable non-tenure position at Temple University. I turned down tenure-track positions at Seton Hall and Monmouth because they were incompatible with my personal life at the time. In 2000 I moved to Lawrence, Kansas and began a position as Associate Director of the Center of Latin American Studies in 2001, which I held until 2005, when I transitioned to a tenure-track appointment in KU Anthropology. I received tenure in 2011.
