Karen Nakamura

Just a short note for those interested in visual anthroplogy:

I just discovered a new anthropology-related weblog:
photoethngraphy

Karen Nakamura is a "cultural anthropologist who focuses on disability and minority identity issues in contemporary Japan." She's an assistant professor at Yale and has also got a webpage dedicated to photoanthropology. Her doctoral research was "on sign language, identity, civil society, and deaf social movements in modern Japan." I wonder how long she'll stay with blogger.
