I am a professor in the Department of Communication and Culture at Indiana University. I am a cultural anthropologist by training. I have been teaching a course on Stigma: Culture, Deviance, Identity for 13 years. I am looking forward to seeing how working with the Wikipedia community can provide my students in this course opportunities for knowledge building and the kind of activism that sharing what they learn provides. I am working with the Wikipedia Global Education Program. For more information about my research and the courses I teach visit www.stigmasofthetamilstage.com
