Brown University

Past research: Language styles and socio-cultural patterns in Iran: traditional theatre in the Middle East, India and Japan; rural attitudes in Costa Rica. Present and future research: Theory in sociolinguistics and the semantics of interaction; cross-cultural comparison of theatrical and performance genres; opera; paralinguistic and nonlinguistic semiotics; action anthropology.

Lindy, what did you believe Beeman's outlook is after reading his Bio? Forget for a moment that you read my post with Beeman's article.

Thanks...looked up his bio last night. Also looked at some other talks or articles he had written. All VERY left leaning.

Also, thought where the comma's were placed was interesting...
The way it is listed is:
Associate Professor, Anthropology and
Theatre, Speech and Dance
Director, Middle East Studies

Does this mean he is:
Associate Professor,
Anthropology and Theatre,
Speech and Dance Director,
Middle East Studies

Or did someone at the Brown University not know how to use commas?

Is he a Speech and Dance Director
or
a Director of Middle East Studies....

What does a Director do? Does he/she direct the curriculum for the other Professors in the Department....?
