Charles Zuckerman
Assistant Professor
Biography
Dr. Charles Zuckerman is a linguistic anthropologist who studies how cultural categories mediate ethical life in human interaction. He is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Formative Education at the Lynch School of Education & Human Development. Most of his long-term research has been in Laos, but over the past few years, he has become increasingly interested in how people across the world are using new communicative technologies to cultivate ethical dispositions. His current book project explores the moral economy of gambling in Luang Prabang, Laos, and the language that make this moral economy legible and politically actionable. The result is a rethinking of how scholars should understand the roles named categories play in our lives. He is the founder and organizer of BC's Replays Interaction Lab, a space for collaboratively studying the details of communicative interactions. He thinks best and has the most fun when thinking aloud with others.
