My primary ethnographic specialization is France -- including studies of rural France and, more recently, of the Vietnamese diaspora. I have also studied educational projects sponsored by the European Union and have a growing interest in the EU. Recent research interests include citizenship and civic engagement, migration and diaspora, ethnography and personal narrative (including autoethnography).  In addition, I have a strong interest in European social thought and have published several articles and a book on the work of Pierre Bourdieu.
