Kathleen "Kate" Gillogly, Ph.D.

Teaching Interests

In a small four-field anthropology department, Gillogly teaches Introduction to Anthropology, Introduction to Cultural Anthropology, Environmental Anthropology, Migration & Immigration, Livelihoods and Exchange, Anthropology of Language, & Anthropological Theory as well as Peoples of Southeast Asia and qualitative methods such as Participant-Observation, Text Analysis, and User Design. She has co-led two Study Abroad Tours to Southeast Asia. Many of these classes also fulfill requirements for that degree as well as for the concentration in Anthropology. She has taught lots of senior seminars for different majors, currently focusing on the Senior Seminar for Geography & Anthropology. Finally, she facilitates student research projects and involves students in local research on the changing landscape of Pike Creek; cooperative exchanges in the arts networks of Kenosha; oral history; and student use of the university web page.

Research Interests

Watershed management across political boundaries; how people connect to their local environment (through stories, history, daily actions); changing relationships of power in international development projects focusing on the connection between the global and the local; transformations in kinship and marriage practices with changes in the agricultural economy; the rise of indigenous citizenship movements in Southeast Asia; and analysis of how "sustainability" is conceptualized in different sociopolitical settings.

Consulting Interests

Working with local groups on environmental management plans.
