It took me like a week to figure out how everything worked. My BA was
in cultural anthro and I'm currently finishing up an MA with an emphasis
in archaeology. I'm wrapping up a grad seminar in anthropological theory
and I'm curious to know what you mean when you say your "studying the
politics of style." I realize everything nowadays is supposed to be
political, but I don't understand what you mean. I'm also curious about
what Stanford was like.
