SUNY-ONEONTA ANTHROPOLOGIST NAMED FELLOW OF SOCIETY FOR APPLIED ANTHROPOLOGY
 

ONEONTA, N.Y. -- Dr. Brian Haley, an Associate Professor and Chair of the Anthropology Department at the SUNY College at Oneonta, has been elected as a fellow of the Society for Applied Anthropology.

Fellows of the society are members who have demonstrated leadership in the field and assumed responsibilities for the society's activities. Haley was nominated earlier this year in recognition of his research on changes in ethnic identities and the implications of those changes for public policy. He passed a review of professional accomplishments and received word recently of his election. Election as a fellow is considered a mark of professional achievement and recognition.

Haley, who earned his doctorate at the University of California, Santa Barbara, joined the College at Oneonta faculty in 2000. He taught previously at the University of California, Riverside, and served as a post-doctoral research anthropologist at the University of California Institute for Mexico and the United States.

Dr. Haley's teaching and research address how ethnic, racial, and national identities form and change; the social and cultural consequences of capitalist agriculture, Mexican immigration, globalization, and tourism; and the application of anthropology to practical issues such as immigration, heritage management, and ethnic relations.
