Anthropology- One «new» anthropologist every week

Karen Nakamura2

Starting from today I will pick one anthropologist every week that interests me. This weeks pick is Karen Nakamura, just employed at The Department of Anthropology, University of California, Berkeley.

This is what she says about her self:

«I am a cultural and visual anthropologist whose research focuses on disability, sexuality, and minority social movements in contemporary Japan. My first book, Deaf in Japan, was on sign language, identity, and deaf social movements. I recently finished my second book, which is on schizophrenia and mental illness in Japan and is titled, A Disability of the Soul. For the past year, I’ve been working on my third project which explores the intersections of disability, gender, and sexuality.»
