Biography,
Education and Training
Donald Brenneis is a linguistic and
social anthropologist at the University of California, Santa Cruz. He
studied anthropology as an undergraduate at Stanford and received his Ph.D.
from Harvard. His work has focused on the social life of communicative
practices—linguistic, musical, performative, and textual. He worked in a
South Asian diasporic community in Fiji over a 20-year period, examining the
relationships among language, music, conflict, law, and politics—and
considering, among other things, children’s arguments, men’s gossip, and the
complexities of managing conflict through indirect speech. More recently
he has been doing ethnographic work—both as participant and as observer—on peer
review, scholarly publishing, assessment practices, higher education policy, and
the ongoing shaping of scholarly and scientific knowledge within and beyond
anthropology.
He taught at Pitzer College from 1973-1996 and has been in the Santa Cruz Department since 1996. He has also served as editor of American Ethnologist (1989-1994) and president of the American Anthropological Association (2001-2003). He co-chaired the editorial committee of the University of California Press (2007-2009) and is currently co-editor of Annual Review of Anthropology. In 2007-2008 he was a fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences.
