My research focuses on the behavioral ecology of human
societies, especially foraging societies. Since 1995 I have been
working with the Hadza of Tanzania, who are hunter-gatherers.
My current NSF-funded project "Foraging, Food-Sharing, and Family
Formation among the Hadza" is focused on the question of whether
women gain an economic benefit from marriage. To answer this question,
foragers are followed to record their energetic expenditure, food
acquisition, consumption, and food sharing in and out of camp.
I am looking for graduate students to collect data for this project in the
process of conducting their own dissertation research and have funds
to support such graduate students who go to the field.
