 BENJAMIN CHABOT-HANOWELL hanowell@u.washington.edu CV Graduate Student, Biocultural Anthropology Program, Department of Anthropology, UW Fellow, Center for Studies in Demography and Ecology Former Fellow, IGERT Program in Evolutionary Modeling "Once one has lost the sense of measure, there is no longer any limit." -Epictetus  Hello. My name is Benjamin. I am a gentleman and a scholar. Well, at least I'm a scholar. Specifically, I'm an anthropologist. I'm an NICHD-funded fellow at the Center for Studies in Demography and Ecology (CSDE) and former fellow at the NSF-funded Integrated Graduate Education and Research Traineeship Program in Evolutionary Modeling (IPEM). I attend graduate school at the University of Washington UW. Administratively, I'm part of the Biocultural Anthropology Program within the Anthropology Department. Personally, I consider my interests much broader than anthropology, including philosophy, biology, economics and ecology. Like many anthropologists, I primarily study humans. In particular, I study their social behavior and institutions. I use evolutionary and ecological principles to understand things like the emergence of institutionalized social inequality and the effects of immigration and economic opportunities on social dynamics within extended families. I draw on mathematical and statistical modeling techniques to illuminate these processes. Read about my research interests here. As you page through, feel free to leave comments below. Wouldn't you know, I have a life outside academia. Find out more here. |
