Research underway includes fieldwork in Ethiopia and Turkey, and laboratory studies in both countries and in Berkeley. Former and current graduate students and postdoctoral scholars have done fieldwork and/or laboratory studies in China, France, Tanzania, Malawi, Kenya, Jordan, Turkey, and Ethiopia.
