James T. Dugan

Ph.D. Candidate

Dept. of Anthropology

Tulane University

 

I began the doctoral program at Tulane in the Fall of 2001, with a concentration in Linguistic Anthropology.   I spent my year of fieldwork (2004-2005) in lowland Guatemala, collecting folklore in the Ch’orti’ Maya language, and am currently writing a dissertation describing the grammar of that language.

 

I have a secondary research interest in how Creationism and Intelligent Design represent a struggle with modernity in North American society.
