Sociocultural Anthropologist

About

Alex Golub is currently an assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. He holds three degrees in anthropology: a BA from Reed College (1995), and an MA (1997) and Ph.D. (2006) from the University of Chicago. Although broadly trained, he describes his areas of interest as political, legal, and environmental anthropology. His area of expertise Papua New Guinea, and Oceania more broadly.

Alex has been at the forefront of anthropologists writing and thinking about the changes digital media have made to anthropology, and the academy more generally. As a graduate student he was on the original creative team of Gapersblock.org, which has since grown to become Chicago’s most popular daily website. He is a co-founder of savageminds.org, described by American Anthropologist as “the central online site of the North American anthropological community”. He also writes occasional opinion pieces for Inside Higher Ed and has been quoted in Rolling Stone, Nature, The Globe and Mail, and other sources.

In his spare time Alex enjoys spending time with his family and singing choral music of the Baroque and Renaissance.
