Daniel M. Goldstein, assistant professor of anthropology,
has received a Grant for Research and Writing from the John
D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. Chosen from over
350 applicants from a variety of disciplines, he is one of
only 37 researchers worldwide to earn this honor. Goldstein
will receive $74,000 over a period of 17 months toward his
research.
In this year's Research and Writing competition, eligible
topics were those that address the dynamics of international
security, sustainability and cooperation. Goldstein's project,
titled "Vigilante Justice and the Challenge to Global
Security," is based in Cochabamba, Bolivia, the second
poorest country in the Western Hemisphere.
Goldstein has taught at Holy Cross since 1999. In addition
to his role in the anthropology department, he is a member
of the Latin American Studies faculty at the College. A graduate
of the University of Pennsylvania, Goldstein earned both
his master's degree and Ph.D. in anthropology at the University
of Arizona, Tucson. Before joining the Holy Cross faculty,
he served as a visiting assistant professor at Miami University.
The recipient of numerous grants and fellowships, Goldstein
is author of Troubling Subjects: The Politics of Exclusion
and Incorporation in the Management of an Urban Public Sphere.
His research interests include political and legal anthropology,
historical political economy, and peoples and societies of
Latin America.
A resident of Worcester, Goldstein and his wife, Claire,
a teacher in the Worcester Public Schools, are the parents
of two boys, Benjamin and Eli.
