Anthropology Professor

I am just loving my Anthropology professor; her background is incredible, and her current work with the Austin/HIV Planning Council an especially interesting twist given what my goals are with future work. Here's her bio:

Dr. Jennifer Price holds a BA in Cultural Anthropolgy from Macalester College, an MA in Cultural and Biological Anthropology from the University of Florida, and a Ph.D. from the U.C. Berkeley/U.C. San Francisco Joint Program in Medical Anthropology. She has conducted research among diverse groups including Cambodian and Vietnamese refugees, ethnically diverse institutionalized elderly, U.S. medical students, rural Malawians (sub-Saharan Africa) and rural Maasai families (in Kenya) focusing on a range of issues including reproductive health, dietary practices, blindness, HIV prevention, family planning, and emergency contraception awareness. Dr. Price currently teaches in the Anthropology Departments at Foothill College and the University of Texas at San Antonio.

The courses she teaches at Foothill -- Cultural Anthropology and Peoples of Africa in fall/winter/spring quarters and Medical Anthropology in summer -- are all online, so if you either need credits or are just interested in the subject(s) I am finding her to be an awesome wealth of knowledge and an excellent guide through the complex layers of African studies.
