Stevan Harrell (PhD 1974, Stanford)
Research Interests:
Demography, family, ecology, education, ethnicity, material culture; China
and Taiwan
"Right now I am
interested in the politics of translation between Chinese- and English-
language anthropology, in collaborative research and collaborative field
narratives, in a holistic study of the environment and society around
Yangjuan Primary School in Southwest China, and in the reconstruction of
fertility in historical populations from genealogical records. I am also
actively working to build and exhibit the Burke Museum's Asian
collections."
