Faculty Book Talk: Unruly Domestication with Kristin Skrabut, 1/29
48 Professors Row
The Center for the Humanities is excited to welcome Professor Kristin Skrabut to CHAT on January 29 to discuss her newest monograph, Unruly Domestication: Poverty, Family, and Statecraft in Urban Peru.
Kristin Skrabut is a sociocultural anthropologist and assistant professor of urban and environmental policy at Tufts University where she teaches courses in ethnographic methods and global urban environments.
Her research examines issues of statecraft, kinship, and inequality in Latin America. Skrabut’s first book, Unruly Domestication: Poverty, Family, and Statecraft in Urban Peru, draws on over a decade of ethnographic fieldwork to explore how the international war on poverty shapes politics, intimate identities, and urban space in Lima. She has published related research on informal housing and the right to the city in the journals of Current Anthropology and City and Society. Skrabut is presently developing new research on digital governance, food insecurity, and the intimate politics of milk in Peru.
All are welcome to attend. For questions, contact us at: humanities@tufts.edu.
